GLw seems to be a strange animal due to its dependency on Motif. It's  
a small library, and since it's a requirement for Open Inventor, it  
would be best handled as a separate port. Otherwise the situation  
results in trying to depend on a variant. Although should the glw port  
be named mesa-glw to clarify the association?
