I'll mention again that you can ftp this stuff from indri.primate.wisc.edu
(128.104.230.11), in ~ftp/pub/imake-stuff.

I'll also mention that although lots of people have grabbed the papers
(there are two), very few have made any comments or suggestions.

Since the paper on imake for X is by no means complete (sigh...)
I'd still welcome anything people have to say about it.
