That switch is unnecessary for normal compilation. It's only required
for r3.showdspf, which isn't normally built; if you want it, you have
build it manually (e.g. "make -C raster3d/r3.showdspf").

As similar functionality is now provided by NVIZ, r3.showdspf is
deprecated.

The GLw library provides OpenGL "canvas" widgets for Athena and Motif. 
r3.showdspf uses the Motif widget (so you also need a Motif library,
e.g. Lesstif or OpenMotif).
