14the platform-specific configuration data for known platforms.

16The X Window System used imake extensively up through the X11R6.9 release,
17for both full builds within the source tree and external software.
18X moved to GNU autoconf and automake for its build system in 2005 for
19X11R7.0 and later releases, but still provides imake for building existing
20external software programs that have not yet converted, though we are not
21actively maintaining it for new OS or platform releases.
