  I hope you're all as tired seeing all those stupid contrib patches go
by as I was making them.  You'll note that most of the patches were
trivial, many involving a missing three line Imakefile.

  I'll reiterate my suggestion here: it is my firm recommendation that
the X Window System project reject out of hand any contributed software
that doesn't have an Imakefile and compile relatively trivially on at
least *some* system.
