Hackers, I've submitted a port of the latest release from the Hungry Programmers of their LessTif effort. In testing, lesstif-0.88.1, I have compiled nedit, xmcd, amaya, xmaddressbook, llnlxdir, ddd, and few other items in the ports collection. These ports all work fairly well with 0.88.1. Although the Hungry Programmers will state that LessTif is still in a development stage, it seems to be an acceptable alternative if some one does not have Motif installed on their system. Thus, it may be time to revisit the policy of HAVE_MOTIF in /etc/make.conf. Currently, if HAVE_MOTIF is not defined, then the building of a port exits with a message like "ddd-3.1.3 requires motif". I think it might be appropriate to suggest that LessTif is a viable alternative.
