The consensus seems to be that xmkmf is dead; ask pogma. See also
<http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/xquartz-dev/2008-March/000455.html> 
and its thread.

The case of it being used only for detecting X11 is fixed, in principle, 
see cvs log of autoconf.info:

revision 1.10
date: 2008/03/29 02:04:42;  author: ogorman;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -2
Detect X even if no imake/xmkmf

Other packages that use imake for more serious purposes will have to 
fight for survival, I guess.
