I want to change the base of the SONAME from libXaw6 to libXaw, and have
the major version only present after the .so; as far as I can tell, I
can't get libtool to do this.

I hacked libtool to set the base of the soname (which is normally
'${libname}' to libXaw and things are working correctly on Linux.
