  imake
       
          A tool which generates {Makefile}s from a template, a set of
          {cpp} {macro}s, and a per-directory input file called an
          Imakefile.  This allows machine dependencies (such has
          compiler options, alternate command names, and special make


          rules) to be kept separate from the descriptions of the
          various items to be built.
       
          imake is distributed with, and used extensively by, the {X
          Window System}.
