+# To create a shared library, use "configure --shared"; by default a static

+#    prefix=$HOME CC=cc CFLAGS="-O4" ./configure
+# or for csh/tcsh users:
+#    (setenv prefix $HOME; setenv CC cc; setenv CFLAGS "-O4"; ./configure)
+# LDSHARED is the command to be used to create a shared library
+
+# Incorrect settings of CC or CFLAGS may prevent creating a shared library.
