I have ready access to two Solaris servers, both installed by others,
and both with quite a few of the Solaris development libraries installed.
Without that patch, './configure' fails on both due to one or more
missing graphics development libraries.
It's just two data points, but it's not a good sign; it gives the impression
to naive builders that Emacs is a pain to port.
When I'm on these servers, I always run Emacs in tty mode, so it doesn't
bother me a bit that libgif etc. are missing. I realize I could configure
with --without-x but that would lose some ability to test that X11 compiles
work on Solaris. I also realize I could configure with --without-jpeg
--without-png --without-gif --without-tiff, or whatever, but I always
forget which flags they are and frankly I just want to type './configure'.
I wasn't aware of the earlier discussion about this. Oh well.
I've reverted the patch, since Richard decided to do it this way.
