The Hermes library is a very good example of how *not* to do things. If
you happen to use remote sessions where your X server runs on a big
endian box and your other box is little endian, you'll see all colours
fscked up. I once offered them to help them in that area, got 0
response. Looks like it's aimed at local x86 based displays.

Honestly, I think there's little you or the FreeBSD port maintainer of
wmaker can do wrt to the Hermes library, except maybe add a KNOB to
disable it, which IMHO would be a nice addition :)

Cheers,
