openMotif vs. lesstif

Ben,

Unfortunately openMotif and lesstif are in direct conflict with each other
for include headers and library names.  The Lunar KDE devs/users say that
KDE still needs/uses lesstif, while we've been trying to get the rest of
moonbase over to openMotif.  openMotif is by definition "more" compatible
than lesstif to the Motif standard.

If RH8 has figured out some way to "store" lesstif in an out-of-the-way
place, then the Lunar KDE devs should take a look at attempting to do that
as well.

I try very hard to stay away from all things KDE, qt, and lesstif.  :-)
