As much as I'd like to see that functionality in the imake config, it isn't a priority for XFree86. We're kind of preoccupied with X servers, new and improved hardware drivers, and implementing our new X server design. It will only be implemented if someone who really wants it done does it (hmm, where have I heard that before :-). There have been volunteers several times in the past, but I've never seen an end result. In the past I've offered to assist with and review such an implementation. That offer still stands.
