Sorry, but I have zero time available to go look at other Imake implementations
for the foreseeable future.  I've cc'ed the X.Org developers list to see if
anyone else has time to help, but really, no one wants to maintain any Imake
code now, and the most likely outcome will be many people recommending you move
to anything but Imake, and maybe offering to make you the maintainer of X.Org's
version so we can stop paying attention to it too.
