patch to /mit/dash/src/Imakefile so that I can have some
release-dependent control in the menus that are loaded...

==============================================================================


There are more changes I have to submit, although if these have to
slide, they aren't nearly as important...

/mit/motif1.1/release/mwm.1	- new manpage (I left it out of the
				  snapshot I gave you for mwm by mistake)

/mit/dash/src/console.8		- changed
/mit/dash/src/dash.1		- changed

/mit/vanharen/renew.1		- new manpage (no install makefile, though...)



and a change to the console's app-defs file to remove the forceNW
gravity (the creeping console bug no longer exists in mwm, and forcing
NW gravity confuses twm, so...):

/mit/dash/src/Console		- app-defs file (this installs on the
				  root of workstations...)



And even less important...:
I have some other changes that I would like to get in at some point.
These include a new mwm, which fixes a bug in mapping iconwindows (quit
mwm, and you'll notice that the console's icon gets mapped, also happens
with sunclock out of the softbone locker.  Fortunately, not many
programs have their own icon windows, but console *is* sort of a
biggie).

There is an "add" manpage, yet to be written...

And, of course, there are changes to dash, to fix a bug in the analog
clock (no, not the problem with it driving up the load, like we saw the
other day...), among other things...  These changes involve recompiling,
though, so if they are accepted at all, it will have to be later in
staff-test, I assume...  Please advise on whether these changes will be
allowed at some future point.
