* A POSIX + Single UNIX Specification compatible C library.
+Configuring / Compiling / Installing
+------------------------------------
+
+ To configure, build and install foobar with the default settings, run
+ `./configure && make && make install'. For detailed, generic instructions
+ see INSTALL. For a complete list of configure options and their description,
+ run `./configure --help'.
+
+ By default, foobar will be installed into `/opt/foobar'. You can adjust this
+ setting by specifying the `--prefix' configure option - see INSTALL for
+ details. If you pass DESTDIR=<path> to `make install', <path> will be
+ prefixed to all installation directories. This might be useful when creating
+ packages for foobar.
