Rebased everything on 1.5E and rewrote the autotools files to more
closely match libXaw. I've never done this before so I'm sure there
are errors, but the autotools stuff seems to work well. I also split
out the header files into an include directory to match what other
libraries do.

Give it a look over. :)
