Ok

if openMotif entirely maps all Motif API
and all application that we have in Moonbase build correctly with it
and openMotif has better support

then we can just wipe out lesstiff ;).

* note *
In the case of a unresolved confilct what can we do ???
Example : dos2unix
recode provides dos2unix
hd2u provides dos2unix too

recode is nice but hd2u is smaller and maybe quicker

what to do when fortune (for example) depends on recode but you want hd2u
installed ?
