Because I don't work for Athena any more, and don't feel like giving
away the time for free.

I figured that the systems that use the utilities tree (Kerberos,
Zephyr, etc) will all have macros to define where to find the programs
(IMAKE = /usr/bin/imake, etc).  If it is built but not installed,
those macros can just as easily point to the build tree (IMAKE =
/mit/buildutil/@sys/imake/imake, etc).
