   7 installation notes:
   8 --------
   9 Read the comments at the beginning of Makefile before running.
  10
  11 Utils.h contains some things that just might have to be modified on
  12 some systems, as well as a nested include (ugh) of <assert.h>.
  13
  14 The "fake" directory contains quick-and-dirty fakes for some header
  15 files and routines that old systems may not have.  Note also that
  16 -DUSEBCOPY will make utils.h substitute bcopy() for memmove().
  17
  18 After that, "make r" will build regcomp.o, regexec.o, regfree.o,
  19 and regerror.o (the actual routines), bundle them together into a test
  20 program, and run regression tests on them.  No output is good output.
  21
  22 "make lib" builds just the .o files for the actual routines (when
  23 you're happy with testing and have adjusted CFLAGS for production),
  24 and puts them together into libregex.a.  You can pick up either the
  25 library or *.o ("make lib" makes sure there are no other .o files left
  26 around to confuse things).
  27
  28 Main.c, debug.c, split.c are used for regression testing but are not part
  29 of the RE routines themselves.
  30
  31 Regex.h goes in /usr/include.  All other .h files are internal only.
