[cmucl-imp] Motifd and Motif library dependencies

[Carl Shapiro]

It just means you will need Open Motif installed.  Most of the Linux
distributions have these libraries available through apt, yum, or whatever.
There is a FreeBSD port as well.  This should just be noted in the install
documentation for the convenience of new users.

The practice of statically linking in a Motif library should have died with
SunOS 4.
