Short: imake (sort of Meta make)

Hi there.

This is an imake for the Amiga.  I am quite sure, some other
person already did port it, but I couldn't remember where to get
it when I needed it.  So I took the sources and just compiled it
using Markus Wild's GCC port (thanks again, Markus!).  The imake
executable was compiled for 68020 (see also includes/amiga.cf).

Copy imake and rm to bin:  (you do use GCC, don't you?) or c:,
the mkmf script to s:  and the includes to a new directory
usr:lib/imake.

This port was done in order to have an imake for compiling local
clients for the PD X11 server "DaggeX" by Kari J.  Mettinen
<mettinen@kruuna.helsinki.fi> and Leonard K Norrgård
<vinsci@nic.funet.fi>. Thanks go especially to these two!

The things needed to compile X11 clients are:
 - GCC of course
 - ixemul.library V39.47 plus libc.a V39.47 (Beta, ask Markus)
 - libX11.a, libXt.a, libnet.a (from DaggeX archives)
 - libXaw.a, libXmu.a, libXext.a (from Xlibs archive)
 - X11 include files (from Xincludes archive)
All these should be available on AmiNet (amiga.physik.unizh.ch
and mirror sites).

There are some problems with imake, dmake and ksh:  ksh has
problems with commands containing quotation marks (").  My
current solution is to remove such defines (those are mostly
defines) from the makefile and put them into the source or just
use the defaults.  I would be glad to hear about a better
solution.

--- REMARK: I just tested it - GNU make does not have this
--- problem! So just use GNU make instead of dmake!

The provided config files work for the X11 libraries and clients
I compiled up to now (more or less ;-), but are far from being
perfect.  If you do some useful extensions, please let me know.
