Yes, this is completely rewritten for 20.3.  Unfortunately, although
autoconf2's basic approach is very good, there are a number of
deficiencies with existing tests.  In particular, autoconf2 knows
about /usr/openwin, but doesn't know about $OPENWINHOME.  I just added 
a test for that particular case to configure.in.

autoconf2 also has never heard of Motif or CDE, so we'll have to
handle that ourselves.

I expect the new configure TODAY to only work on my particular system.
Fortunately, I'll put Steven through the wringer before it's released
to the beta list, and so we'll have success with Solaris, SunOS4,
Linux, gcc and SunPro C before the changes hit the streets.
