   This would be useful not only to tag the (few and getting fewer) programs
that work with Motif and not Lesstif, but also to note which version of
Motif is required.  There are programs that require at least Motif 1.2, 2.0,
or 2.1 (and some that need 2.0 and not 2.1, thanks OSF).
   So how about some MOTIF_VERSION or somesuch.  Lesstif can be version 0,
not because it's "weaker", but simply to acknowlege that's Lesstif's
version.
