Its a 16K bin and has this modest deps: X11, Xext,Xpm,Xau and Xdmcp.
The original uses xmessage to show help but this version is modified to use the overseen alternative to Xdialog: getgui pointed out by technosaurus here.
Attached the compiled bin as well as the modified source and a build script. If you prefer the xmessage version just download the org. source and use the included build script to compile it.

.Well -found it. Second attachment is the version 1.5 (32K). Saves to jpg, png, pnm, ppm, xpm and xwd. Just changed the font to fixed in source-file to make him run.
And in this version no need for xmessages or getgut - the help/action is build in - just right mouse click on captured image...Update 070712: Source is gone so posting it here for reference
