I had very minimal problems building the X11/Xt/Motif extensions!
I had to redefine the LIBS sections in the Makefile.in, copy the Makefile.in
into Makefile (in each directory), go into the X11/Build directory,
run 'make regen TOP=<dir>' then edit the Makefile and add '-I$(TOP)'
to the CFLAGS line. That's it.. I have even packaged up my interface
to the MetalBase database into an Extensions directory and it will
be on my FTP server as soon as I can get that working again! The Extensions
directories are very easy to work with and use!

Great work Guido!
