RE: Fixing Imake

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

I tossed in an echo statement to tell me whether the general target or the
Win32 target for imake was being used.

It turns out that the general target is being used.  Below is the imake
target generation command:
gcc -o imake  -O -I../../include -I../../imports/x11/include/X11 imake.o

Should I throw automode.o on the end?
