-Flight Gear uses the Gnu autoconf and automake tools for managing
-Makefiles.  Key input files for this system are:
-
-    configure.in - Top level directory
-    Makefile.am - One in each subdirectory
-    Include/config.in - input file for building config.h
-
-If you need to modify any of these files, you will need to install the
-following packages.  If you don't have a prebuilt package for your OS,
-you can fetch them from the locations listed below:
-
-    - GNU autoconf (available from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu)
-    - GNU automake (available from ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey)
-
-After making a change to configure.in you will need to run:
-
-    aclocal ; autoheader ; automake -a ; autoconf
-
-Then follow the regular build procedure:
-
-    ./configure; make; make install
-
-For debuging purposes you might want to try something like:
-
-    CFLAGS=-Wall CXXFLAGS=-Wall ./configure; make; make install
-
-For full optimization using the EGCS compiler on an Intel processor you 
-could try something like:
-
-    MACH="-mpentium"   # -m486 -mpentiumpro etc.
-    export CC=egcc     # for Linux
-    export CFLAGS="-Wall -O5 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops $MACH"
-    export CXXFLAGS="-Wall -O5 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops $MACH"
-    ./configure
