Well, XView is Sun's user interface toolkit for X and it's freely
available.  It's based on Sunview, so there should be few code
changes (altho a bunch of #defines) to get it to run under that.
However, for the time being, XView is too buggy to use reliably,
and I don't want to release a version of mush that will support it
unless I can allow a makefile to simply have -DXVIEW to compile for
the XView version.  Right now, there just has to be too many code
changes.  Probably by the time R4 is released, I might have done
something.
