I would agree with this. To save problems with patches and me forgetting to
change, I now typically try not to change anything and use (from csh):
xmkmf -a
make MANPATH=/public/man LIBDIR=/public/lib BINDIR=/public/bin
!! install
!!.man

which seems to work most of the time, with the proviso about using imake
directly. RTFM for xmkmf and imake too. e.g. for imake:
     -Idirectory
             This option is passed directly to cpp.  It is  typi-
             cally  used  to  indicate the directory in which the
             imake template and configuration files may be found.
