I once was able to build X11R6.3 OOB with MSVC 5. I am not so sure it
would a trivial exercise to rebuild lesstiff with MSVC; I suspect not.

The lesstif libraries in my distribution

    http://dao.gsfc.nasa.gov/software/grads/win32/X11R6.3

are static, while the X11R6.3 are dynamic (DLL). If you absolutely must
use MSVC I'd suggest that at least the xlibs be rebuilt with MSVC.
