I really don't want to add the overhead of mo/less-tif in the package.

A possible middle road, if lesstif can be compiled as static libraries, I could build it into the xganim binary.  That could cut down on the size since only the parts used by xganim would be (?) included, unless that includes most of lesstif.

I thought wx gui in 6.x, or at least 6.4, was not quite as complete as in 7 (or 6.5).  Or at least incomplete compared to the Tcltk gui.  And the plan was to leave tcltk as the default in 6.x and make wx the default in 7.

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
