It's a bug. There was apparently an issue in the build system with
regards to locating the appropriate libraries. Now that the X libraries
are in /usr/lib, they are searched by default EVEN IF you explicitly say
-L/no/I/want/this/other/library -lXpm.
I'm sorry I didn't notice this dependency before I shipped the update.
For now, roll back to the -7 release; I'd build another update soon.
This time I'm going to brute force the build system to link to the
correct libraries.
