Because it is not a part of X11 core. Simple as that. You also won't
find libXpm on any standard installation of AIX, HP-UX or Irix for that
matter. CDE does use xpm's and that is possible because Motif-CDE has
builtin xpm support.

This is utter nonsense. XPM and pixmaps are two totally different
things. XPM is just another image format, while a Pixmap represents a
drawable surface maintained by your X server. These two have nothing in
common whatsoever.

Please RTFM before you start explaining something.
