I would like to see Imake made more general.

Perhaps using the work Paul DuBois has done?

Moving the X stuff into a subarea, so that
Imake was more generic, yet still used by
X, would be great. For all its faults, I still
have seen nothing better. And as with X,
going ahead with a good standard is better
than waiting for the perfect one.

As part of this, I would like to see Imake
removed from the default X tree (at least as
a bootstrap imake & make world option).


If the Consortium is willing, but doesn't have time,
I'd be happy to jump in. Unless Paul has already
beaten me to the trick or really wants to do it...
