The w* functions are all implemented in work which Sun made available
as part of the stuff they gave to the X Consortium under the OpenView
release.

The license is BSD-like in the extreme.

There are some patches to it that were done by WIDE, in Japan, but
they are incredibly minor (might as well have them, though).

Go searching for OpenView in relation to X11, and you will find the
code.
