+Here are the 4 (over-simplified) steps to port C/Invoke to a new architecute:
 
 1) copy lib/arch/empty_empty_empty.c and .h to files named
 <compiler>_<cpu>_<os>.c and .h.  Add an entry to the main cinvoke-arch.h

 4) Get the test suite in the test/ directory running and spitting out the
 correct values.

-To build and install the library, run configure.sh to see a list of
-available platforms, then run it again to create the Makefiles.  Then
-enter 'make', then edit the top-level Makefile to change the install path
-if neccessary, and enter 'make install'.
+To build and install the library:
 
-The language bindings in the bindings/ directory require the library
-to be installed in order to build; their Makefiles are not set up to build
-from C/Invoke compiled in the source directory.
+$ perl configure.pl --prefix=/usr/local
+$ make
+$ make install

+The language bindings in the bindings/ directory must be built separately.
