The problem is `xwidget' isn't really a library, it's a feature that
makes use of many different external libraries.  Ideally, people would
test for the named feature `xwidget-internal', but the amount of people
who refrained from reading the first paragraph of the xwidget node in
the Lisp reference manual is astonishing.

Is calling require okay from C code?  If so, that's what I'll do.

Thanks.
