Why is x11-servers/xorg-server dependent on libXaw, among others?

Hello,

Yes, here I go gain with another attempt to reduce package
dependencies. I'm attempting to understand why the xorg-server port
depends on libX11, libXaw, libXmu, libXt, libXpm and libXext. I'd like
to remove at least libXaw and libXt from the dependencies. What do
you, x11 maintaires, think about this?

make an omelette without breaking eggs". Not because I like the
omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
