-1. unpack the source tarball and cd to the resulting dir
-
-2. # autoconf  
-   this reads configure.in and generates the ./configure script
-
-3. # ./configure 
-   this probes your system and then, for each "file" named
-   in the AC_OUTPUT() macro near the end of configure.in,
-   read "file".in and generate "file". Variables named @somevariable@
-   will be substituted with literal values.
-
-4. step (3) produces several files. These files are generated by
-   configure from their respective .in file in the same directory.
-   You should have a read of these generated files and diff them
-   against their respective .in files to see what was substituted
-   by configure.
-
-   src/include/builddefs
-       common definitions for the build environment. This is included
-       by all Makefiles, in conjunction with src/include/buildrules.
-       Note that most autoconf/configure build environments generate
-       Makefile (from Makefile.in) in every src dir. Instead, we
-       generate builddefs, and then include it in every Makefile.
-
-   src/include/platform_defs.h 
-       header containing conditional macros defining the C run-time
-       environment discovered by the configure script.
-
-5. read some or all of the GNU tool chain documentation
-   GNU make :
-       https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/
-   autoconf :
-       https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/
-   libtool :
-       https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/
-   gcc/g++ :
-       https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/

-6. Makefiles and build environment
-   First have a look at some Makefiles
-
-       example using SUBDIRS :  attr/Makefile
-        example static library:  attr/libattr/Makefile
-        example command       :  attr/getfattr/Makefile
-
-   All Makefiles must define TOPDIR as the root of the project. This
-   allows other stuff to be found relative to $(TOPDIR).
-
-   All Makefiles should have the following structure, which is
-   much like commondefs and commonrules in the IRIX build environment, e.g.
-
-   # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-   # TOPDIR must point to the root of the project
-   # The builddefs file defines lots of things. Read it.
-   TOPDIR = ..
-   include $(TOPDIR)/include/builddefs
-
-   # first rule should always be "default"
-   default : sometarget
-       commands to build targets, if necessary
-
-   # $(BUILDRULES) is defined in builddefs and includes rules for
-   # descending subdirs, building targets and installation rules
-   include $(BUILDRULES)
-
-   install : default
-       $(INSTALL) sometargets somewhere
-   # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-7. packaging
-
-   # ./Makepkgs
-   this script generates all of the packages supported - each has a
-   subdirectory below attr/package where knowledge specific to each
-   package type is maintained.
-
-   The script produces logs of each stage of the build (this info is
-   also echoed to the screen when the "verbose" option is provided):
-
-       attr/Logs/configure     - `autoconf; ./configure' output
-       attr/Logs/default       - `make default' output
-       attr/Logs/dist          - `make package dist' output
-
-   On successful completion, the script echoes the names of packages
-   successfully generated.
