      What an unbelievable faux pas.  Would *you* buy a book on programming
    in X from someone who doesn't know how to use imake?  

Yes.

                                                           Or nearly as bad,
    someone without the courage to help in the standards process by helping
    promulgate imake as a standard part of any X11 installation?  I sure
    won't be buying his book ...

That would most emphatically be your loss.  It's a great book, written by two
of the most devoted people who have been involved with X.
