+Build, Test, Install, Use...
+----------------------------
+    If this package came from the distribution tar ball, skip to the
+    Build Section.  If this was a gentoo ebuild, after emerge/ebuild,
+    skip to the Use Section; otherwise, start with Pre-Build.
+
+Pre-Build
+-----------
+    1) svn checkout svn://teaktechnologies.com/fn/trunk/clib clib
+    2) autoreconf [-v][-f][-i]	# regenerate configuration files
+
+Build
+-----
+    1) cd BUILD			#  which may be different than this SRC dir
+    2) ${SRC}/configure [--host=CHOST]
+    3) make
+
+Test
+----
+    If not cross-compiling (i.e. CBUILD == CHOST), use "make check" to
+    run the validation programs.
+
+Install
+-------
+    With the root effective user ID (i.e. su or sudo), run "make install".
+
+Use
+---
+    We need to reference man pages and theory of operation.
