:
INSTALLATION:
Under UN*X, Linux:
Alternative 1 (the old way): type "make -f Makefile.direct check".
        Link against gc.a.

Alternative 2 (the new way): type
        "./configure --prefix=<dir>; make; make check; make install".
        Link against <dir>/lib/libgc.a or <dir>/lib/libgc.so.
        See doc/README.autoconf for details
