Well, that's a lot, I wouldn't want to put THAT in one of our
variables. ;)

That's ok, we are trying to handle this using only standard xmkmf.
(Because different Motif implementations may have different
conventions -- some define XmClientLibs, some don't, for instance, but 
if we use "${MOTIFLIB} XawClientLibs", it should always work.)
