to compile ircii

  o  there are 2 main ways of configuring ircii for your system.  you
     can either run the `easyinst' script, or, if you know how to use
     gnu configure scripts, you can use that directly, and then edit
     include/config.h yourself.

  o  using easyinst:
      - in the same directory that this file is in, type `./easyinst'.
	if you are using an old version of system v, you might need
	`sh easyinst'.
      - this script asks you a few questions and then calls configure
        for you.

  o  using configure directly:
      - in the same directory that this file is in, type `./configure'.
	if you are using an old version of system v, you might need
	`sh configure'.

      - this script tries to guess various things about your system
        that are important to it compiling.  it creates various files
        in this process.  configure takes a couple of minutes to run.

     WARNING: gnu sed vesrion 2.05 (and maybe 2.04 -- i don't know)
     will not function properly with this configure script.  gnu
     sed version 2.03 does.  please do not send me a bug report if
     you are using gnu sed version 2.05 (such as linux systems)

      - when this has finished, you might want to check the Makefile
        for the places ircii will be installed.  the defaults are
        /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man.  you can
        either do `make prefix=/local' or set it with configure, by
        calling configure with the `--prefix=/local' switch.

  o  compiling ircii - type `make' in the main ircii directory.  this
     will compile the `irc', `ircflush', `ircserv', and `wserv'
     programs that reside in the source sub directory.

  o  once the programs are compiled, you can install them with
     `make install'.  this will install all the binaries, scripts,
     translation tables, and the ircii man page.

  o  you can now delete the object files and binaries from the source
     directory with `make clean'.  `make distclean' will also delete
     any file that `configure' created.  this is useful for then
     using the same sources to compile on a different architecture.
