Athena applications' default installations assume app-default files
in /usr/athena/lib/X11/app-defaults. However, it appears that we are
not compiling with Athena Xt libraries, which I believe is where
we tell the applications where to get their app-defaults.

In any case, various applications are _not_ finding their
app-defaults.  I would assume all Athena applications aren't, but I'm
not sure it's actually true.

In any case, by observation both xdsc and mwm are not finding them.
(This is why mwm comes up with thick borders and click-to-focus, in
addition to other hideous properties.)

I don't remember why we don't link with a libXt we build rather
than theirs (which is old and crufty anyway)...
