 > The 6.x xganim requires Motif and an X server, which is probably more
 trouble than it's worth.  Also, on Windows and MacOSX you would need to
 either use Lesstif (which is still "beta" quality and barely maintained)
 or buy a commercial version of Motif; the OpenMotif licence is limited to
 open-source platforms.

 Just for the record, `xganim` was removed from GRASS 7 in favor of
 `g.gui.animation`.

 For trunk, both `egrep -Irn "NULLDEV"` and `egrep -Irn "/dev/null"` return
 nothing for `raster/r.out.mpeg`.
