If we provide Motif for OpenSolaris it will be the Motif packages that 
we already provide with Solaris. There are licensing issues with OpenMotif
http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/faq.html. LessTif would also require 
a significant amount of work to ensure that all the fixes/patches Sun 
provided to  Sun's Motif were included in LessTif
