I have written sevral Xtoolkit resource converters. Now I want to write
one that uses (calls) an existing, standard Xtoolkit converter (such
as XtRString to XtRCursor).
However, ALL the converters are declared static (in addition, in DECwindows
world, they are completely hidden in shareable image).

The Intrinsic file Resource.c contains the code that looks-up the converter
from the application code, but I can't use this approach either, since
IntrinsicI.h is not supplied with DEXCwindows.
Is there any reasonable way to get the converter pointer from the toolkit
which I have overlooked ?

Note, XtConverts needs a widget (to scan resource database), and in my
converter I don't have one - and I don't want to pass one, since this
would trash any caching if I understand it right.
