Hmm, that's sad.

Would be nice if you would state this anywhere just to avoid that people
are looking for the source ..

I'm really no Imake expert nor do I understand the sense of Imake while
we have the nice automake/autoconf tools. Perhaps you should tag the
bug "Help" and make clear the problem. Perhaps someone would step in
and fixes the Imake problem or just would port it to automake - which
I would prefer.
But having it laying around and doing nothing to RC bugs is not good.
Kind regards
