It does carry a requirement for the local neXt widget set, 
neXtaw, which in turn has some BuildReq's on libXmu-devel 
libXt-devel and libXext-devel -- Siag is unadorned, and has a 
Motif'ish widget set look; with the glitter and attention 
which the piggish Gnome and KDE interfaces carry, perhaps the 
maintainer threw up his hands, threw in the towel and stopped 
fighting the tide ;(

I'll play with the packaging a bit -- the MySQL support looks 
promising: http://siag.nu/siag/index.html
