Arguably.

Xmu used to be part of of any X11 installation, but recently there's
been a tendency to move it to a separate package (mostly because Xaw
is no longer essential).

It's only NVIZ which needs Xmu (through Togl). We could do away with
the code which uses it altogether, and just use XGetRGBColormaps()
instead, or only use it if configure detects that it's available.

It would be worth seeing how the current version of Togl handles this.
