I wanted to build Mosaic on cutter-john, but it didn't find the Motif
header files.  To remedy this, I created these symlinks:

/usr/athena/include/Xm -> /mit/motif/include/Xm
/usr/athena/lib/libMrm.a -> /mit/motif/linuxlib/libMrm.a
/usr/athena/lib/libXm.a -> /mit/motif/linuxlib/libXm.a

I don't mind using symlinks to the motif locker, although I can also
see a good argument for having the actual header files and libraries
actually in /usr/athena (whether /usr/athena is on the local disk or
on system packs).

In any case, this should probably be addressed by RedHat-Athena at
some point.
