 The simplest way to compile this package is:
 
-  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and
-     type `./autogen.sh' and then `./configure' to configure the
-     package for your system.  If you're using `csh' on an old version
-     of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure' instead to
-     prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself.

      Running `configure' takes awhile.  While running, it prints some
      messages telling which features it is checking for.
