*shrug* The lesstif maintainer needs more than that just to compile
his package :-)
Supporting only a specific list of emacsen would be a disadvantage,
though. I bet there are a lot of obscure variations out there that we
wouldn't necessarily want to have in the main distribution. It would
be nice if the add-on packages worked on them anyway.
