 Building
 --------
 
 To build this distribution you first must run the configure script. This
-outputs a config.mak file that will be used in the Make step. Then run
-make; this builds the objects into build/ and the binary into bin/.

 Configuration
 -------------
 
-The configuration script is used to generate a build intermediate step
-called the config.mak. This file is used by the Makefile to figure out
-GNU compilant C compiler to use, what CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to use, and
-where to install the binary if requested. By default these values are
-gcc, the release flag set, and /usr/bin/. The configuration script
-supports the following flags that control CFLAGS: --debug
-and CFLAGS="". By default, the script uses flags for a release build.
-Debug is for in-development programming and is the strictest when it
-comes to warnings and other compiler output. CFLAGS="" is for custom
-flag definition. For the development enviroment is it recomended to
-use the --debug flag. Some examples of how you can run the configure
