Hmmm....I guess that my 'xpm' kinda straddles the fence here. As
shipped (4.0.0-2) it requires an Xserver by default, but with a simple
symlink change you link with the no-xserver-required version. I made X
the default because the X version is 'complete' -- the
no-xserver-required version doesn't implement EVERY function in libXpm
(although I've never found an app that was upset by these omissions).
