Make sure that this is Ok for the other three features (bitmaps,
stipples and scrollbars. If not, use a different variable name than
XAW3D_CPPFLAGS. Their Cflags is going to end up there as well and there
may be  a naming clash. You need to check the source code for usage.

Oh, wait a minute. There is a reason why it is not there to begin with.
Isn't it a "private" header? Making it public will make it impossible to
make backward compatible changes. Code written for xaw3d may want to be
ported on xaw and will put pressure on libxaw to make it public as well.

If gv wants to break the rule and use private header, they have to do
the workarounds. That is what usually the capital P stands for, but I
could be wrong.
