There is not much reference material for compiling olwm under 
XFree86-3.1-NetBSD.  Run down of what has work so far and what my
compile looks like.

1) I have the BSDisc from DiscNet-InfoMagic.  I extracted and patched
ports/x11/olvwm/, ports/x11/xview-clients/, ports/x11/xview-config/, and
ports/x11/xview-lib/ into /usr/X11R6/src/

2) The only thing I could get to compile completely was xview-lib/ and I
did do a 'make install' after the compile.

3) The stuff in the olvwm/, and xview-clients/ do not seem to be
compileable
until after I compile the stuff in xview-config/.  The problem is, at
one point the compile make errors out with the error:
/include/sys/wait.h:99: redefinition of 'union wait'
does anyone have a clue what's going on here?

4) Where do I put all of this stuff once I get a successful compile?
Can I just do a 'make install after each compile a hope for the best?

5) what are the relations of ports/x11/olvwm/, ports/x11/xview-clients/,
ports/x11/xview-config/, and ports/x11/xview-lib/ ?
