+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.
