I don't know what libGLw is, (I noticed its presence or absence only
when Fink packages showed build failures) but it used to come with
Apple's X11:
Up until Tiger, there was a static libGLw.a in /usr/X11R6/lib/, and
Leopard's X11User.pkg installed a dynamic libGLw.1.dylib instead. In
addition, in all versions there were header files like GLwDrawA.h
in /usr/X11R6/include/GL/. I also remember a discussion on this list
about missing symbols in the Leopard libGLw.dylib.
libGLw should never have been shipped with OS X, because it has
external dependencies (namely, Motif). It shipped before because
XFree86 shipped a broken version of it by default; it was removed when
we switched to X.org. It temporarily snuck back in, but that has
since been fixed.
