I wonder what has happened to imake. It's mentioned in
ModuleComponentList, but up to now util/imake is still empty. :-(
There are still many programs which use imake as build system, and I'm
afraid that many/most of them will never be converted to autotool
(because no longer maintained, but important nevertheless). I remember
last time I broke imake about 100 packages failed because of this and
SUSE is a small Linux distribution with only about 5000 packages.

In case imake won't be modularized. What would be the workaround to
build these imake build based programs. "Build imake by using the
6.9 monolithic tree"? Hmm ...

Best regards,
Stefan
