2.1  Installation from a tar.gz
===============================
  
  libunicode is set up with a auto[conf|make] build, so to build it you
need to do the following:
  
    
 1. Untar and zip the source file: `tar -xzvpf libunicode-x.x.tar.gz' 
 2. Change into the main directory: `cd libunicode-x.x' 
 3. Configure for your system: `./configure <options>' Note, configure
   accepts standard options, including
   `--prefix=/dir/to/install/libunicode' 
 4. (optional step) If you have cweb (cweave and ctangle) installed, you
   can create new .c files from the .w files by: `make cweb' 
 5. Compile: `make' 
 6. Install: `make install' 
  
  You can clean up after the build with `make clean' and uninstall
libunicode (why would you ever want to do that? :-) with `make
uninstall'.
   
2.2  Installation from cvs
==========================
  
  The development version of libunicode is available from anonymous cvs:
<<
  cvs -d :pserver:anon@cvs.bowerbird.com.au:/usr/local/cvsroot login
          (password is `anon')
  cvs checout libunicode
  cvs logout
>>
  
  The cvs version requires that you have a number of development tools,
including automake, autoconf and cweb (ctangle and cweave). To build
this you need to do the following:
  
    
 1. `aclocal' 
 2. `automake' 
 3. `autoconf' 
 4. Follow the instructions for compiling from a tar.gz above (but the
   `make cweb' step is not optional).
