Has it been so large a burden?  I see 4 patches in the last three
years.  One fixes a typo, and my recent two may as well be one, really.
The things I fixed here aren't even really a part of upstream imake, so
they'd have to have been fixed elsewhere instead.

I'm willing to have a look at this at some point.  It's probably correct
to use the vanilla tool, and resolve any incompatibilities in a more
appropriate fashion.  However, I suspect Jon is right about it being a
lot of work.  Right now, I just want to get this release out.
