 This issue was occured after x11/libXaw/buildlink3.mk was changed to
 additionally include x11/libXp/buildlink3.mk.
 
 I was request it to avoid involuntary x11/libXp/buildlink3.mk inclusion
 for libXaw applications.
 (some packages still include both libXaw and libXp).
 
 Because in x11/libXaw/buildlink3.mk,
 BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=           l:Xaw:Xaw8
 Usual xaw application linked with libXaw, so linked with Xaw8,
 and Xaw8 is linked with libXp, so need to x11/libXp/buildlink3.mk.
 
 The difference between libXaw8 and libXaw7 is just linked with
 libXp or not.
 
 Usual Xaw application does not need libXp feature.
 
 Modular X application should know libXaw7 and libXaw8,
 and exactly linked with libXaw7 or libXaw8, not libXaw.
 
 I want to do following changes:
 
 * Usual libXaw applications must not include x11/libXaw/bulidlink3.mk.
   include mk/xaw.buildlink3.mk instead.
 
 * BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM in libXaw/buildlink3.mk should be
   not l:Xaw:Xaw8, but l:Xaw:Xaw7.
 
 * BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM in libXaw/buildlink3.mk should be moved to
   mk/xaw.buildlink3.mk, or conditionally when come from xaw.buildlink3.mk.
