The problem is that to link against/depend on e.g. libXt
you need to specify -L/usr/X11R6/lib which is
exactly the place where some other libXm resides.
Actually this hurts my quite often. Well, not anymore :-)
I can't see any workaround. If I link an Xlt example against
libXlt.la "somehow" libtool puts those dependencies in the link
command, and I remember that we even ended up with the wrong
linking order of "-lXt -lXm ..."!?
