Here is a little script that I find useful for building a Iakefile from an
Imakefile when the source isn't in my X tree.  I call it "ximake":

	% cat ximake
	exec /x11/util/imake/imake -DTOPDIR=/x11 -TImake.tmpl \
	-I/x11/util/imake.includes $*

where /x11 is the name of the top of your build tree.  I then just say

	% ximake Makefile

and I have a Makefile.

p.s. I agree completely with Todd that that imake is currently too hard to use.
I'm hoping to make things easier in th years to come.
