Dang.  I searched all over the place for help on fixing up 
libxmi and came up empty, and based on the fact that it hasn't
seen a release in forever plus a few days, I just gave up on it
and removed it (and everything that depended on it).  The reason
it wasn't on the "missing" list is because it had already been
determined to be beyond salvage, but it's obvious that I was
wrong.

Good find on this, both for whoever came up with it originally and
to you for finding it again.  Thanks!!!

Can you make a complete tarball of everything (just like you would
submit to us if the submission form were open) and mail it to me?
I'll get it added in our next update.
