Xaw3d: incorporate patches recommended by gv developer

[ryandesign@…]

Markus Steinborn, the GNU gv maintainer, has told me that the stock version of Xaw3d 1.5 is very buggy and needs to be ​patched in numerous ways in order for gv and presumably other software to work properly. Presumably Xaw3d 1.6 has incorporated some of these changes, but I believe some problems may still exist. Would it be possible to incorporate these into the Xaw3d port? I am hoping this would help resolve the segmentation faults we're seeing with gv. Markus told me "Redhat is accepting all Xaw3d patches from my git repository".

We've modified libXaw3d quite considerably in 1.6. We started with 1.5, then upgraded to 1.5E, then went from there.

I was not aware of this git repo at the time we started working on the libXaw3d-1.6 hosted by x.org, so it's possible that some issues are fixed, and it's possible that some issues remain.

I'll put this in my queue to look at in the future, but that segfault you reference in gv is in libXt and seems unrelated to libXaw3d.

r90886 brings in a couple that were merged into X.org

r91175 brings in the rest

Thanks. Now that these patches are in Xaw3d, in r91413 I've updated gv to enable international support, which relied on these patches.
