I agree, but although it wouldn't be a big task I currently have little available time ; I could possibly find the energy do it if you believe this has any chance to be integrated mainstream in both libXaw and libXaw3d - otherwise libXaw3dXft is possibly better left as a fork of libXaw3d ...

I haven't checked this yet, but it won't certainly be an issue for the additional stuff.
