I just want to make sure that the insight maintainers have no problem with removing these before going to the overseers. Any idea what "very old" is in terms of what the version number / release date of the last insight was that used iwidgets. I looked in the top-level ChangeLog in the src tree at sourceware.org and I can't find any reference to adding or removing iwidgets from the top-level build. When I look at the very first version of Makefile.in at the top-level I see a build of itcl, but no build of iwidgets. Nor do I see any mention of iwidgets in the CVS log for src/Makefile.in. The CVS log goes back to 1999 and the ChangeLog goes back to 1991. Steve Ellcey sje@cup.hp.com
