The imake package contains the imake utility, plus a number of support
programs, such as mkdirhier, revpath, and xmkmf.

The X Window System used imake extensively up through the X11R6.9 release,
for both full builds within the source tree and external software.
X moved to GNU autoconf and automake for its build system in 2005 for
X11R7.0 and later releases, but still provides imake for building existing
external software programs that have not yet converted, though we are not
actively maintaining it for new OS or platform releases.

Anyone shipping software still using imake to build should be working on
moving to something that is still adding support for new platforms and
runtimes."
