Without having looked at xfig in detail, I think you might be able to avoid many of your substitutions to the Imakefile if you pass -DProjectRoot= to xmkmf
If necessary, you can also pass -DLocalRulesFile= to define a makefile
containing extra rules.

That sounds like a nice solution.

I was trying to avoid this until there was a need from more packages.
I'm not familiar with many projects that still use imake, but it appears
you might be, with your xboing patch ;)
Btw, I did push a change to xfig and transfig that should let them build
for i686 (which I tested locally now) and mips (which I don't have the
means to check locally).
