Unfortunately, this now gives incorrect information. The only problem
with the previous instructions, is that the step to edit the
makefile should occur after using ./configure. Both Makefile and
WWW/Library/Implementation/CommonMakefile need to be edited by hand
after the configure step. I believe that the current wording is correct
and easy to follow.
