Nitpicking correction: On this solaris machine, I find it linked to
corepop (as opposed to corepop11), together with poplink and poplibr.
However, in a linux motif tar file that I've got here, I find it not
linked to anything, although it is the same size as corepop, poplink and
poplibr. Maybe I've somehow messed up that tar file. If anyone has
quick access to a pristine linux tar file, perhaps they could check.

Yes, I wasn't really paying attention at the time, but I gave the
problem a little bit of thought for purposes of my mini-distribution -
enough to see that it really was a problem and I wasn't going to solve
it instantly.
