JF,
I've posted revised packaging for mesa-libglw which converts it
into using variants for -lesstif, -openmotif3 and -openmotif4. The
packages build libGLw with differing library basenames and use
a libGLw symlink in the base (development) package for compiling
against these libraries.
I still am a little uncertain as to the cleanest way to push
this into fink unstable. I would like to keep the package info
file named as mesa-libglw.info but decpreciate the older non-variant
version (<= 7.0.2-2). I am unclear what the convention is for
naming these packages when the variants don't naturally have
a prefix (like -py). In any case, the current packaging seems
to work fine, although lesstif needs a Conflicts added for
the new openmotif4 package.
