21*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert		<p>Most modern software distributions include an autoconfigure utility which
22*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			customizes the build and install configuration according to the specific
23*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			hardware, operating system and file system conventions. For NTP this
24*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			utility is called <tt>configure</tt>, which is run before building and installing
25*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			the program components. For most installations no additional actions
26*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			are required other than running <tt>configure</tt> with no options.
27*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			However, it is possible to customize the build and install configuration
28*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			through the use of <tt>configure</tt> options.</p>
29*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert		<p>The available options, together with
30*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			a concise description, can be displayed by running  <tt>configure</tt>		 	with
31*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			the <tt>--help</tt> option. Various options can be used to reduce the memory
32*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			footprint, adjust the scheduling priority, enable or disable debugging
33*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			support or reference clock driver support. The options can be used
34*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			to specify where to install the program components or where to find
35*2b15cb3dSCy Schubert			various libraries if they are not in the default place.</p>
