I changed it so that libXt uses _XtInherit and all other libraries and code
uses _imp___XtInherit. Now it seems that the comparisation is passed, but
It's worse than that.

Can libXt.dll call a function from libXaw.dll? eg:

in Xt:
void XtCallFunction(void (*func)(void)) {
    (*func)();
}

in Xaw:
void XawFoo(void) {
}

void XawBar(void) {
    XtCallFunction(XawFoo)
} 

If not, then we can skip the whole shared libXaw and libXt part. Some of 
the widget classes from libXaw have callbacks defined which are called in 
libXt functions.
