I'm assuming this means simply building the old libs with the new
soname.  If I'm wrong, please correct me, but it sounds more like a
workaround than a fix.  I thought I had heard of an updated xaw3D for
R6.1, but I could be mistaken?

Anyways, I guess this would be acceptable as a workaround, although it
would make me more comfortable to have an Xaw3D based on R6.1 :)
