[gentoo-dev] xaw keyword

[Chad Huneycutt]

Does anyone have a problem with changing the xaw keywork to xaw3d? 
 Since xaw is installed with xfree, an xaw keyword is not really 
necessary.  xaw3d is installed separately, though, so a keyword is 
probably in order.

Ok, I am not sure what I was thinking, but there is no xaw keyword. 
 Therefore, I would like to suggest an xaw3d keyword.  Could anyone else 
use it?

We still need a xaw USE variable.  When xaw is defined, it means that apps are
allowed to compile-in their *optional* xaw functionality.  They will always
compile-in (and depend on xaw) if xaw is required.  This way, if someone
removes xaw from USE, ebuild apps won't include xaw if they can help it.  Hope
that clears things up,

Let's stick with a xaw keyword only.  We'll control what xaw is the official
xaw by adding the appropriate entry to the "virtuals" file, and having xaw
packages depend on "virtual/xaw".
