 Currently MacPorts only provides a single openmotif package for 2.3.2
 (libXm.4.dylib). Some software like molmol are not fully compatible with
 the newest openmotif major release and require 2.2.4 (libXm.3.dylib). In
 fink, when I maintained the lesstif, openmotif3 and openmotif4 packages, I
 adjusted them to co-exist. MacPorts needs to find a mechanism to do the
 same. Note that lesstif is substandard for those needing an earlier motif
 and in fact lacks active capable developers as is mentioned on the lesstif
 home page.
