I say do what you like, but keep in mind 1) that we no longer really have a relationship with XFree86 upstream, at least when it comes to Imakefiles and 2) no one other than XFree86 appears to be interested in retraining Imake as a build system. In other words, my ordinary caution about major overhauls in this part of the tree is not engaged, but please don't spend time engineering a solution for the ages, as the rest of the X community seems pretty interested in making sure Imake doesn't live very much longer.
