Spec URL: http://people.freedesktop.org/~ajax/fedora/libGLw/libGLw.spec
SRPM URL: http://people.freedesktop.org/~ajax/fedora/libGLw/libGLw-1.0-1.src.rpm

Description:
libGLw is a library for Xaw and Motif OpenGL widgets.  Currently it's built as one of the products of the 'mesa' package in core.  This is foolish for a number of reasons:

- The lib is _extremely_ stable, bumping it for every Mesa release is needless churn
- No packages in core (or extras!) depend on libGLw
- libGLw introduces a dependency on openmotif, which I would like to move out of core, because it's no longer 1996.

Upon acceptance into extras I'll be happy to remove it from the core Mesa build and update the Requires/Obsoletes appropriately.
