 As of 2021, tightvnc is in fact still shipping its own copy of imake
 and the imake templates, the latter being quite old even by imake
 standards and therefore quite broken.
 
 That it builds anywhere is a surprise. If anyone cares about making it
 build anywhere else, the first thing to do is forcibly delete the
 included imake and get it to use pkgsrc imake.
