I didn't have to define BUILD_BROKEN_NEDIT, but I don't think that 
check_lin_tif was being built in the default build for Cygwin, so the 
version of LessTif is not being checked.  When I built it manually it 
showed that 0.93.91 is an untested version, but not a version explicitly 
known to be broken.

I think it would probably be unprofessional to comment on that publicly.  ;)
