Re: [pde-build-dev] Default for target windowing system

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hmm, reading my own post I realize that this looks like a Buckminster 
user asking for advice :-). That's not the case. It's a Buckminster 
developer asking fellow PDE developers how to manipulate the PDE build 
preferences so that it doesn't default to "motif" on platforms where 
that windowing system doesn't apply.

Thanks,
Thomas Hallgren
