How do I get xcmap?

I am switching (from Gnome) to Windowmaker as my main desktop environment. To set colours in wm, I need a program called xcmap. Sounds pretty basic, but it is apparently not in Pacman, and Google is no help either. It is not installed in my system, as far as I have been able to detect. How do I get it?

thanks!

Yes, thanks, xcmap appears to be provided by xv, which is available through pacman/community. Pacman itself does not indicate that xcmap is provided by xv, but the fact is, before installing xv, I didn't have it, and now I do.
