+--------

+Just type 'make' and 'make install'. If on FreeBSD, for now you have to
+specify the FreeBSD Makefile with -f, eg:
+
+$ make -f Makefile.Freebsd && make -f Makefile.FreeBSD install
+
+Likewise with OpenSolaris, use the Makefile.solaris to compile there.
+This might change in the future if I opt for an autoconf type setup.
