    xmkmf is just a simple shell script that calls imake with the
    correct flags.  I've seen people used alias (in csh) and shell
    functions (in sh/ksh) in place of xmkmf.

csh alias:

	alias xmkmf 'imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config'

k/sh function:

	xmkmf() { imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config }


    Of course, you need to edit the '-I' flag to point to the correct
    directory if your site has the X11 config directory in another
    place.


    For those of you who want the "real"(TM) xmkmf, here it is.
