  GNU shtool -- The GNU Portable Shell Tool
  ____________________________________________________________________

  INSTALLATION
  
  Usually you want to use shtool inside the source tree of your own Open
  Source package (say it stays under /path/to/mypkg). For this you first have
  compile the "shtool" script and then just copy it over to your own source
  tree. To achieve this run in your shell:

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ cp shtool /path/to/mypkg/shtool

  Also please notice the license terms which apply to the generated shtool
  program. You can find them at the top of the generated shtool program file.

  Alternatively you can also install shtool in a system wide location (for
  easier upgrading from there or to make shtool available for users from
  within the shell). To install shtool into /path/to/shtool/{bin,man}/ perform
  the following steps in your shell:
      
    $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/shtool
    $ make
    $ make install
