http://www.inria.fr/koala/lehors/xpm.html was the main Xpm webpage. But no
source code updates since March 19, 1998. Over nine fixes since then.

I believe most Unix flavors and Linux distributions provide Xpm from their
XFree86 or Xorg since it is better maintained.

We already have libXpm modularized (/cvs/xlibs/Xpm). It appears to have
been last updated (by Daniel) on January 29, 2005 to "Import security
fixes from X.Org HEAD."
