DECwindows is not R4, so you can't expect things to be where they should be
in R4.  You'll need the R4 distribution to build most, if not all,
the R4 clients since they're looking for the R4 include files and
calling R4 library routines that may not be in the DECwindows libraries.

We have one DECstation that has /usr/include/X11 pointing to the R4 includes,
/usr/lib/X11 is R4-ized, etc. and use it to build R4 stuff.  If we need
to build DECwindow program, we do it on another system.

Ultrix v4.2 is supposed to be R4-compliant.  I haven't seen it, so I can't
say whether it really is.
