2.5 is the latest, released a couple of weeks ago, and it does require
Motif. I'm not aware of any patch that allows it to be compiled without
Motif. If you want to start a flame fest to try to provoke someone into
writing it, well, I guess we'll see how well that works. Off hand I'd
prefer not to have a flame fest in comp.windows.x. How about in
comp.infosystems.www instead? :-)

Changing the subject slightly, if you want justification for using
SGML/HTML, I'll just point out that Linux has been distributing docs
(not man pages) in SGML for some time now, and XFree86 started using
SGML/HTML with the recent release of 3.1.1. The world is moving that
way; it's too late to lead, so you better get in line and follow. :-)
Whether or not you distribute an httpd or a browser, you should at least 
have the docs SGML-ized, because it's a certainty that almost everyone
is going to get one or the other or both if you don't have one as part
of the base system.
