  12. I refuse to ever use Imake. John Ramsdell once had a distribution
  13. that used Imake on top of web2c, but I don't think he's updated
  14. it in a while. (He's now preparing some other distribution to
  15. help make web2c configuration/installation easier.)
  16.  
  17. All Imake does, imo, is introduce a bootstrapping problem into
  18. the whole mess.
