The `configure` shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values within a `Makefile` in
those values within a `Makefile` to build for that POSIX system as
defined by `config.mak` which was generated by `configure`.
Compilers and Options
=====================
Some systems require unusal options for compilation or linking that
the `configure` script does not know about. If you run into an issue
run `./configure --help` to figure out what you can do to fix the

Installation Names
==================
By default, `make install` installs the package's command under
`/usr/local/bin`. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local/`
by giving `configure` the option `--prefix=PREFIX` to `configure`, the package uses
PREFIX as the prefix for installation programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
