[ANNOUNCE] imake 1.0.10

The imake package contains the imake utility, plus a number of support
programs, such as mkdirhier, revpath, and xmkmf.

The X Window System used imake extensively up through the X11R6.9 release,
for both full builds within the source tree and external software.
X moved off of imake for its build system in 2005 for X11R7.0 and later
releases, but still provides imake for building existing external software
programs that have not yet converted, though we are not actively maintaining
it for new OS or platform releases.

Anyone shipping software still using imake to build should be working on
moving to something that is still adding support for new platforms and
runtimes.

This release fixes a "Modern C" warning that may become an error in
future gcc releases.

For those building for 32-bit platforms, it also enables use of the
"large file" APIs - though no file processed by imake should ever be
anywhere near 2GB in size, it may be stored on a filesystem which uses
large inode numbers not supported by the original 32-bit APIs.
Since this release was generated using the new GNU autoconf 2.72, this
also adds a --enable-year2038 configure flag which may allow imake to
work with files whose timestamps are later than January 19, 2038, but
this has not been tested, and we sincerely hope that no one will actually
still be using imake 14 years from now.
