Done in CVS.

We decided to have a default version which is the only
one built and which gets installed. Check out the docs and
configure --help on how to change this.

WRT libtool: did we already give the advice to install
a recent set of auto* tools (libtool 1.4, autoconf 2.5x, automake 1.4-p5),
run CVSMake in our toplevel dir and try this?
Drawback is, of course, that you have then a rather unusable
autoconf installed, but if it helps for LessTif ...
