We are still left with user unfriendly output discovered too late.
I notice that we check for the file "xpm.h" during configure, but
never try to #include it.
I'm still not totally up to speed on autoconf, but wouldn't it make
more sense to change the xpm sensing logic to use the header and
actually include an "XpmImage *" in the little sample program that
configure uses?
