  Xmkmf is part of the standard X distribution.  It should be installed on
your system if X11R4 is not installed on your system.

  If it isn't, then you should be able to do "imake -DUseInstalled
-I/usr/lib/X11/config", which is (in essence) what xmkmf does.

  Oh, what the heck, the shell script is so short, I've included it below.
