I took manoj's words to mean he wants amaya included in the distribution,
not to maintain it. Well, if you feel you are more qualified to maintain
it (this would be my first "big" package), then you can go ahead and take
it. I do have motif though, so I could release a static motif package that
would work for people who don't have Motif at least until it works with
lesstif.

Taking a light look at amaya's installation instructions, I see that amaya
requires the Thot source to be there for compiling, so Thot maintainer and
amaya maintainer should better be the same person to avoid problems. I
am willing to give it all to you. Just let me know.
