Update!

Good week of progress:
- Additional tweaks simplifying the build process.

- Converted non-autoconfig make to cmake, should allow building Motif 
wrapper in a cross platform way on all platforms that support 
cmake/X11/Motif.  Confirmed that it works at least for x86-32/x86-64 
Ubuntu.

- Also, everything now builds and runs on the latest latest version of 
Ubuntu (16.04)

- Only slightly related.  I did a proof of concept for using cl-vector 
(anti-aliasing graphics library) against the back end of garnet.  It 
looks quite feasible.  So, who knows, maybe a silica backend using 
garnet could be accomplished pretty easily?  That would give CL a fully 
integrated graphics stack. Also, Garnet itself has text editor that 
supports syntax highlighting that I've hacked on.  It was meant as toy 
demo, but it's nearly (though not quite) functional.

Next Step:  Create a branch with Steve's patches.  Maybe everything will 
work with the new shared library, cmake build. (haha. hope springs eternal!)
