Description
Various remnants of X11/NeWS code (and even a small bit of SunView code!) still live in
the X consolidation source tree even though they have not been used or delivered in many
releases.   The only bit of this code still used at all is for winsysck, which checks to
see if you are connected to a pure X11, pure NeWS, X11/NeWS hybrid or SunView server.
Dropping the SunView, NeWS, and X11/NeWS checks from this will allow all of this useless
code to be purged.   (The application will still accept the options to check, just always
report false, since you can't connect to any of those on any system that hasn't been EOL'ed
for years.)
