-MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
-	This is a quick guide.  For details, see the INSTALL file.
-
-	% ./configure
-		autoconf OpenLDAP for current platform
-
-	% make depend
-		this will create dependency information
-
-	% make 
-		this will build the system
-
-	% su
-	# make install
-
-    in this directory.  This should produce something that basically
-    works.  You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.
-
-    You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
-    site, though.  There are one file you might want to edit:
-
-	include/ldapconfig.h.edit
-		This file contains #defines used by many parts of the
-		distribution.  You'll at least want to change DEFAULT_BASE.
-
-    See the INSTALL file in this directory for more information.
-
