OK, lots of X programs come with Imakefiles and need imake to generate
a customized Makefile for the local machine.

Firing up imake as distributed in X386 for 386BSD, it complains about
not being about to find "Imake.tmpl".  I found that setting the env
var IMAKEINCLUDE to "-I/usr/lib/X11/config" would get it to create
makefiles OK, but not with quite the correct information to build
the target, like library paths are wrong.

Is there another place this is supposed to point to, to get to the right
stuff?  If not, is there a copy or link that needs to be done?  Otherwise,
what is the accepted way to set this up?

xantfarm and xpipeman, for example, would come up out of the box and run
perfectly but for this.
