Remove apostrophes from instances of possessive "its".

Browse Source 
I noticed one instance of this while looking at the code the other day,
and after a quick grep, realized it happened a *lot*!  One of the many
frustrating things about the English language is that we use apostrophes
to make pretty much everything possessive *except* the pronoun "it".
In that case, we use "its".  "It's" is reserved for the contraction
meaning "it is" or "it has".

WINGs is a small widget set with the N*XTSTEP look and feel. Its API
is inspired in OpenStep and its implementation borrows some ideas
from Tk. It has a reasonable set of widgets, sufficient for building
small applications (like a CDPlayer or hacking something like rxvt). It
also has other functions that are usefull for applications, like a
User Defaults alike configuration manager and a notification system.

The library is limited and its design is a little sloppy,
so it's not intended to build large or complex applications, like
anything more complex than a CDPlayer. GNUstep should be used for such
applications.
Since WINGs is written in C and is sort of low-level it is small
and faster than say, Motif or even Athena. Knowing Xlib will help you to
workaround some of it's limitations, although you'll probably be able to
workaround some of its limitations, although you'll probably be able to
write something like a trivial tic-tac-toe game without knowing much Xlib.

Some of its functions are designed to support the Window Maker window
manager (see http://windowmaker.info) In fact, its primary role is to
support Window Maker. All other uses of it are just an added bonus.
It will help you to understand the API if you read the ApplicationKit
