I've just tried, and apart from that this product doesn't combine very
well with XFree86, there's no problem building and running an
application with it, on a -current machine.

(In order to not mutually clobber the various config files etc., i
have installed mine in /usr/Motif.  However, the various Imake
templates don't account for the possibility that the project roots for
X11 and Motif are different, so i didn't get by without hand-fiddling
the imake-generated Makefile.  It would probably be worth the while
fixing the Motif templates.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
