"add simple example for XtAppNextEvent() man page" is fine for the commit
summary/subject line.

The libXt from X11R7 is unlikely to be installed in /usr/X11R6, but if it was,
we'd still recommend -I /usr/X11R6/include and #include <X11/Xaw/Label.h>
(or more precisely, we'd recommend `pkg-config --cflags xt` and letting it
provide any necessary -I flags, but those will be provided such that the
<X11/...> paths are needed).

The -o sample form is what I'd go with.
