>Description:
	

I was cleaning out old unused ports, and one of the things that I deleted was
open-motif since there were no other ports registered as needing it.  xemacs
stopped working.  apparently, xemacs will find open-motif installed and link
against it, but not register it as a dependency.

>How-To-Repeat:
	

install open-motif
install xemacs
de-install open-motif

xemacs now fails to run with a missing libXm.

>Fix:

	


make the xemacs port either explicitly disable Motif support unless requested,
or make it auto detect when it is there and register the dependency.

i just rebuilt the xemacs port without the motif libs installed and that works
too.
