Custom installation
===================

  Most sites need to modify the default installation procedure in some
way, perhaps merely changing the prefix from `/usr/local', perhaps
adding extra compiler or loader options to work around `configure'
bugs.  This section explains how to override default choices.  For
additional distribution-specific information:
   * `dviljk/INSTALL'.

   * Note: Installation.

   * Note: Installation.

   * `xdvik/INSTALL'.

  These instructions are for Unix systems.  Other operating-system
specific distributions have their own instructions.  The code base
itself supports Amiga, DOS, OS/2, and VMS.

  Following are the same steps as in the previous section (which
describes the simplest installation), but with much more detail.
