Aha.
libXpm does not seem to be much appreciated these days among system
packagers. It has gone through deprecation, active non-support,
tentatively replaced with xpm-nox, then came back again then gone.
Long term, it might be best just to find a different way to accomplish
what is currently done with xpm in Axiom. I may be able to come up
with an Autoconf test (based on how we find X11), but that may take
some time.

Oh, the suggestion was just to relieve you, but if you don't find it a
problem, I don't find it a problem :-)

OK, thanks!
