I, unfortunately, have quite a bit of experience with imake, so I've
become immune to its vile corruption. :)
However, as near as I can tell, imake isn't working at all right now in
the modular X.Org packages since no package now provides its configuration
rules and templates. I just submitted a bug against xutils-dev to that
effect.
