Hi, all!

I have been following the progress of the GNU LessTif project with
great interest.  [It seems that Yoseff Francus has been, too.]

Check out:

<URL:http://www.hungry.com:8000/products/lesstif/>

My primary motivation for doing so is to be able to use motif software
we used under *ltrix, and to get Mosaic working.

This is my question... what is still required for shared libraries?

I want them so that I can upgrade my lesstif (and X) libraries without
having to recompile all my motif/X binaries, as well as for the
space-saving advantages.

I know just a little about them (i.e. what they do, and how they work
as opposed to how they're implemented in NetBSD), but I'd be willing
to stumble along and try to port them, even if nobody else is working
on them.

Can anybody help, or better yet, coordinate this effort?
