"Core" X libraries in all three packages are the same and are based on my 
X11 patch. The package(s) on my web site are pure X11R6.X distributions, 
but the ones on Andy's and Arlindo's sites includes some additional X 
libraries (lesstiff and libXpm, for example) and prorams. My R6.4 patch 
includes some additional changes not found in R6.3 patch.

One may find build instructions at the beginning of diff files available on 
my site. Arlindo has an excellent setup hints on his site.
