I didn't have to define BUILD_BROKEN_NEDIT, but I don't think that
check_lin_tif was being built in the default build for Cygwin, so the

showed that 0.93.91 is an untested version, but not a version
explicitly known to be broken.
Interesting. That means a bug in our build system -- check_lin_tif
should be built on all platforms that are likely to use LessTif.
Scott did a good job of explaining our position on untested LessTif
versions so I won't rehash that here, but I will reiterate that it
would not be wise to distribute an NEdit built against such a LessTif
without extensive testing (e.g. somebody using it for real work for a
week or two). If you do such testing and find that the version of
LessTif you're using is good then let us know and we'll add it to the
known-good list.
