   And how do you get an R4 compliant Xt on VMS ?
   (assuming you take MIT source, how much you know about differences
    in NextEvent.c ?)
   And how do you deal with globaldef/globalref issue ?
   etc...

   Mhmm. DEC is selling a Motif Developer Kit for about $400. I don't know
   how much is your hour worth. But I did port Motif 1.0 and Xt to VMS
   myself in approx. 50 hrs. Buying from DEC comes then to about $8/hr
   if your are about as productive as I was (I guess you are better).
   In my opinion, do-it-yourself is just not worth it.
