Dear Friends,

I'd like to solicit some opinions (your's!) on how to do this:

I want to create and maintain a few (somewhat large) X applications that will
conform to both OpenLook and Motif GUI's (not neccessarily in the same
executable, but at least in the same easy-to-maintain source directories).  As
well as using a broad range of Xt+ (AT&T's Xt-based Open Look widget set) and
Motif widgets, I have an in-house Xt Intrinsic based widget set that would be
used in both versions of the application.  

I have an idea of how to accomplish this, but what is the *best* way to it?
Would systems such as UIL, WsXc or Serpent be of any use?  
Am I being naive to believe that such a Herculean task is possible?
What gives?

Thanks `advance,
Vonn Marsch
