Keep your shirt on, fella! :-)
One persons art is another persons garbage. :-) More time has been
with this than I can justify simply to get a demo going. I have manipulated
imake files and configurations in other applications such as kerberos
without the problems experienced with this imake setup. I personally
don't like imake, I like autoconf instead.
If my memory serves me right, the person that sent out the notice of the latest
snapshot said that the current build setup is not optimal and that an
autoconf configuration was in the works.

I am reasonably sure this has already been tried but I will go back and try
it again.
Thanks and have a nice day,
