* ``a whole lot more'' is a bit of an overstatement. :-) All it does is
* a ``make Makefiles; make includes; make depend'' after running imake.
Well, that's a lot, I wouldn't want to put THAT in one of our
variables. ;)

* At least one Motif kit i've got (actually a really old one) doesn't

That's ok, we are trying to handle this using only standard xmkmf.
(Because different Motif implementations may have different
conventions -- some define XmClientLibs, some don't, for instance, but
if we use "${MOTIFLIB} XawClientLibs", it should always work.)
