I have a better description of the problem and a fix now.  The problem
occurs with XView 2.0 (as obtained from expo.lcs.mit.edu) when you try
to run "make World" when it runs "make clean", or "make clean" itself
in the top directory.  If you do not modify your Imakefile, the
following command is executed at the top of your XView source tree:

	rm -f ../../../..

THIS IS NOT GOOD.  The following patch should fix the problem:

*** Imakefile~	Fri Aug 10 12:15:10 1990
--- Imakefile	Tue Aug 14 11:33:33 1990
***************
*** 43,49 ****
  InstallManPage(xview,$(MANDIR))
  
  clean::
! 	$(RM) -r $(BUILDINCTOP)
  
  World::
  	@echo ""
--- 43,49 ----
  InstallManPage(xview,$(MANDIR))
  
  clean::
! 	$(RM) -r $(BUILDINCDIR)
  
  World::
  	@echo ""
