Statically linked, please. A lot of 1.1.5 sites are running X386 instead
of X11R6 and don't have the X11R6 libraries. I can't use the Mosaic 2.5
binary someone made, for example. So either link completely static or provide
a X386 version as well as an X11R6 one.

I find the idea of people GPLing a program that depends on Motif particularly
ironic, since it's 100% opposed to the FSF ideal. It's actually encouraging
the use of a proprietary package with a de-facto (since there's no free
clones) proprietary interface.

If someone does and I can get it up I'll make it available on my 1.1.5.1 web
site,
