Let me rephrase that: I don't know enough about Xt... independent of the widget
set. GTK+ is something I have wanted to look at for a while now.

About Savannah: I looked at the code when it was still up. Is there a reason the
Makefile.am's aren't included? Makes it a bit hard to modify.

BTW, thanks for the excellent work on XBoard.
