Imakefile... bleugh! Use "xmkmf -a" to convert your Imakefile into a
Makefile. Cross your fingers and hope it works. My success rate with
Imakefiles has typically been around 40%, and the rest have needed
manual hacking afterwards to get them to work. In days gone by, many
projects were built like this. Fortunately, GNU autoconf has superseded
imake for most projects these days.
