Hmm, I would agree that Imakefiles are better than Makefiles, but when I
last picked up a client from the net with an Imakefile, the Imakefile
seemed to insist that the client source directory be a subdirectory of
the X source tree.  I can't write that tree (it is maintained by our
support group, which saves me work, but they are slow in installnig new
goodies from the net).  Is there an easy way to change this?
