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. :^)
