A weird shell trick caused the build to continue even after an error
was encountered, giving a deficient package. I just tweaked tightvnc
build to crash there, so now we'll ABEND at the original point of the
problem instead of down-stream.

Unrelately, this thing looks like it's xmkmf/imake but has not been
upgraded to use fink's xmkmf. IIRC, upstream says they are planning to
move towards a more modern build system eventually.
