thats probably my mistake.

I deleted almost everything, but not everything. (I pruned PKGPATH  
with x11/)

tvtwm doesn't link any libs outside of the X11 core set, so I was  
surprised that it demanded an explicit shared path, but it may well  
have been an associated dependency, not a direct X11 dependency
