It came up passingly in a previous conversation, so let's give it its
own.

In version 2.2, ctwm grew support for using SDSC's imconv package and
library for loading various arbitrary image formats.  I don't know
when that was, but from the releases I have found dates for that would
be somewhere probably in 1993 or so.  The last release of imtools was
in 1995, and by all appearances it doesn't even pretend to build on
any systems you're likely to get your hands on.

It's not a huge burden on the codebase, to be sure.  But I think it's
still pretty much dead code at this point, and simplifying things is
always good.  So, is anybody using IMCONV-built ctwm and
"im:something" images?  Are you're planning to use the next ctwm
release on the 32-bit IRIX 6.5 box you're doing that on?  Then speak
up, and we'll keep it!


Otherwise, I'll expect to shortly land the branch at
<https://code.launchpad.net/~fullermd/ctwm/deorbit-imconv> which dikes
it out.
