- Umm, bear in mind that somebody may not want to have separate "X" and
- "OW" startup sequences - i.e., I'd rather be able to run the same
- binaries regardless of whether I'm on a workstation running MIT X11 or
- OW or <fill in additional X11 implementation with yet another font file
- format> or an X terminal running <fill in additional X11 implementation
- with, potentially, yet another font file format>.
-
- I.e., if OPENWINDOWS_ENV is defined, I'd want it to add both "X11fonts"
- *and* "Xnewsfonts" to the font path. Then add in additional options for
- additional font file formats supported by additional servers at various
- sites....
