    KS: I've gotten as far as compiling it and linking it with
    KS: lesstif.  It works sort of, but it generates lots of debugging

    KS: I could upload the package to experimental while I try to get

I'm very interested in xephem.  But: Do you think compiling it with
lesstif is really good idea?  Compiling xephem with lesstif is my
favourite test of new versions of lesstif. :-) But when I tried
lesstif 0.76, it was absolutely unusable.  I'd prefer working (though
statically linked with Motif) xephem...
