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.

What was broken in the Tiger version? AFAIK it was good enough to build correctly working applications like molmol or arb.
