A tool which generates Makefiles from a template, a set of
cpp macros, 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.
