Interesting.  That means a bug in our build system -- check_lin_tif 
should be built on all platforms that are likely to use LessTif.

Scott did a good job of explaining our position on untested LessTif 
versions so I won't rehash that here, but I will reiterate that it 
would not be wise to distribute an NEdit built against such a LessTif 
without extensive testing (e.g. somebody using it for real work for a 
week or two).  If you do such testing and find that the version of 
LessTif you're using is good then let us know and we'll add it to the 
known-good list.
