+README for Jade autoconf support
+Cees de Groot <cg@sgmltools.org>
+$Id: README.configure 1.2 1998/09/23 00:34:48 jjc Exp $
+
+With ./configure, you'll have an alternate method to prepare the source
+distribution for building. This support is experimental, and I'd like
+to receive feedback and patches for your operating system. If a build 
+with autoconf doesn't work, you can always revert to the original Makefile
+which is saved by configure to Makefile.dist. 'make mrproper' will undo
+everything that has been modified by ./configure.
+
+Please note that the autoconf support is not James', but my
+responsibility: bother me with flames and patches, and I'll try tomake
+sure that the next release gets fixed where necessary. James cannot do
+more than forward everything to me, so please save his precious time.
+
+Usage:
+% ./configure; make; make install
+
+configure options:
+
+--help	
+    Print a full list of options. This document only deals with the 
+    non-standard options.
+--enable-http
+    This enables the built-in HTTP client so that you can use HTTP as
+    a method for getting to system identifiers.
+--enable-default-catalog=<pathlist>
+    Provide the built-in definition for SGML_CATALOG_FILES.
+
+Tested platforms:
+
+    - SuSE Linux 5.3 (gcc 2.7.2.1, libc 5.5.46)
+    - Solaris 2.6 (gcc 2.8.1)
+
+Shared library support:
+
+    By default, ./configure attempts to build shared libraries and link
+    against them. This is done via the "libtool" utility, a utility that
+    knows how to build shared libraries on a number of platforms.
+    
+    By default, only shared libraries are built. If you have difficulties
+    building shared libraries, or you want to build static versions, you
+    can use the --{enable,disable}{shared,static} options to configure
+    libtool to your likings.
+
+    According to the libtool 1.2 docs, shared libraries work on:

+
+    One more note from the libtool documentation: the HP/UX sed seems
+    to be badly broken, install GNU sed before attempting to build -
+    libtool depends on a working sed.
