checking this in, and filing a bug report about enabling that conditionally.
Even if we do enable this conditionally, the code tries to dlopen a library with
soversion 3, not 2 as lesstif provides. Didn't try to build with OpenMotif,
because this again is considered to have a non FSG compliant license, which
doesn't help much.
