I don't understand why it doesn't work; the code is not compiled
significantly differently in the two environments.

Perhaps you might spend a minute or two and find out where the problem
actually lies. I don't have any idea how to use Xprt or I would look at
it myself.

Xlib uses only a tiny amount of non-text memory (< 10KB), so it really
isn't a huge use of resources. In fact, assuming that you have one other
X application running on your system, you'll save 24KB by avoiding
duplicate copies of the Xrm code. The net win here is 14KB in favor of
sharing Xlib.

So just use the Xrm functions from Xlib; it's actually a net savings of
memory and avoids nasty build hacks.
