Those lines have tabs in front instead of spaces, which make apparently 
doesn't like. If you edit config/XView.tmpl (I think) and replace the tab 
with a couple of spaces, it should start working.

However, I tried to build XView earlier today, and there are many more 
problems... some of the Imakefiles have lines that end in "\ " instead of 
"\", which also messes things up. And even if the Makefiles are OK, the 
actual compile doesn't work... So, anyone got diffs for NetBSD? :)

I actually managed to get everything to compile (and link? ld gave a 
couple of messages along the lines of "filter.o: must reference global 
symbol 0x1234" while linking libxview.so.*). I don't know if it works 
though; I did the compile remotely over a dialup connection, and won't be 
able to try it out until I go to the office tomorrow.

In any case, I have my doubts about whether it'll work...
