Seems like I remember some talk on the net a while back about adding
C++ rules to the standard X11 imake configuration files and doing away
with a separate set of configuration files for InterViews.  Is this
still the plan?  Is anyone working on this?

Assuming this is the plan, is /usr/lib/X11/config destined to become a
kitchen sink, with a rule for everything anyone ever wanted to in a
makefile?  Or will a more general mechanism exist allowing invocations
of imake to selectively include one or more sets of configuration
parameters (only the ones it needs)?
