Problems installing Xaw3d?

[Greg 'groggy' Lehey]

I've just tried several times to install emacs on a freshly installed
7.0 box (Dell Inspiron 6000 FWIW).  The Emacs installation fails
consistently with the following messages:

   ===>   emacs-21.3_8 depends on shared library: Xaw3d.8 - not found
   ===>    Verifying install for Xaw3d.8 in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/Xaw3d
   ===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
   ===>  Extracting for Xaw3d-1.5E_1
   => Checksum OK for Xaw3d-1.5E.tar.gz.
   ... (Xaw3d installs)
   + /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 XawImP.h /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xaw3d
   install in . done
   install.man in . done
   ...
   *******************************************************************
   ===>   Running ldconfig
   /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib
   ===>   Registering installation for Xaw3d-1.5E_1

   Error: shared library "Xaw3d.8" does not exist
   *** Error code 1

Investigation shows that the port is installing libXaw3d.7, not
libXaw3d.8.  I solved the installation problem by creating a link between
 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.7 and  /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.8:

 $ l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.*
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  420930 Nov  1 17:39 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.a
 -rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  309646 Nov  1 17:39 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so
 -rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  309646 Nov  1 17:39 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.7
 -rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  309646 Nov  1 17:39 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.8

Obviously something needs to be done.  I'd be happy to enter a PR, but
I'm not sure which package is to blame.
