+echo "Now you can run ./configure with your usual options. Afterwards, use
+'make' to create your binaries. Then you can run 'make' in
+src/check_bacula to create that program.
+
+If you encounter problems, you'll have to setup the Bacula source manually.
+The original configure script has been saved to configure.without_check_bacula
+
+Note that check_bacula does not support TLS and is an unsupported add-on to
+Bacula. Even if it's not part of the core Bacula programs, questions can be
+asked at the bacula-users mailing list.
