lesstif API change

Hello,

To conform better to openmotif API, the structures MotifWmHints,
MwmHints PropMotifWmHints have been changed, with a change that only
shows on 64 bit platforms.

It could be needed to rebuild the lesstif dependent packages to verify
that they still build and don't use that API, or check that they don't 
use that structure. It is possible that the ABI break requires a rebuild
even if this API isn't used. I guess that packages that break with the 
new API will show up in Matt rebuilds.

The soname won't change so it is important to verify that the
applications still build with the new API and is still ABI compatible.
