+The git  archive doesn't  contain pre-built configuration  scripts for
+UNIXish platforms.  To generate them say
+
+  sh autogen.sh
+
+which in turn depends on the following packages:
+
+  automake (1.10.1)
+  libtool (2.2.4)
+  autoconf (2.62)
+
+The versions given  in parentheses are known to  work.  Newer versions
+should work too, of course.   Note that autogen.sh also sets up proper
+file permissions for the `configure' and auxiliary scripts.
+
+The autogen.sh script  now checks the version of  above three packages
+whether they match the numbers  above.  Otherwise it will complain and
+suggest either upgrading or using  an environment variable to point to
+a more recent version of the required tool(s).
+
+Note that  `aclocal' is provided  by the `automake' package  on Linux,
+and that `libtoolize' is called `glibtoolize' on Darwin (OS X).
+
+
+For static builds which  don't use platform specific optimizations, no
+configure script is necessary at all; saying
+
+  make setup ansi
+  make
+
+should work on all platforms which have GNU make (or makepp).
