ITP: libXpm-W11

[Charles Wilson]

A version of libXpm that relies on libW11, rather than X11.  It is 
distinct from xpm-nox in that the latter provides its own implementation 
of the "missing" X functionality.  This version uses libW11 for that.

That is, if you were to compile an app against both libW11 and xpm-nox, 
you'd get symbol clashes because xpm-nox provides "fake" xlib functions. 
  Now, ordinarily, a non-X client wouldn't care and would never call 
those and of course would never link against some other X library, so 
there's no problem.  Also ordinarily, a true X client would link against 
X libraries and the X version of libXpm.

So, there's a need for an W11-linked version of libXpm, and this is it.

This combination works as it should; transparency is supported as far as 
Xpm is concerned; a shape mask is created.  However, at present libW11 
doesn't support the proper blending/blting model, so transparency 
doesn't actually work end-to-end.  However, everything else seems to, as 
demonstrated by a simple xpm viewer app derived from Greg Roelof's rpng 
code (included with this package).

Why? Again, all part of my diabolical plan:

Obviously, no linux package includes this library, so full voting 
procedures are in effect (and this depends on libW11).  Since I 
anticipate semi-permanent 'test' status for libW11, that goes for this 
package as well.  At least until my 'rxvt-W' qualification is satisfied.
