Can someone please explain to me why we have sawfish in windowmangers and 
sawfish2 in gnome2-libs?  AFAICT, they are basically the same spell.  Both 
sawfish spells are version 1.3.

I tried casting sawfish (not sawfish2), and it failed because rep-gtk was not 
version 0.17 or greater.  rep-gtk is version 0.15 and rep-gtk2 is version 
0.18 -- two different versions of the same package.  rep-gtk depends on 
librep and rep-gtk2 depends on librep2.  Again, both librep and librep2 
appear to be the same spell.

I went through and checked dependencies in the grimoire and sawfish is the 
only real spell (I'm not counting gnome-karubik-profile) that depends on 
rep-gtk or librep.  So, it appears to me that we are maintaining duplicates 
of the same spell in two locations for no good reason.  I think we can safely 
remove the GNOME1 versions of librep, rep-gtk & sawfish and keep the GNOME2 
versions in their place.

I am open to hearing rebuttal from more enlightened people than me.  :^)
