I need to go back to my original intended comment that users ought to
*choose one or other* of the available methods to compile.  If this is
misleading advice, I would like to be corrected.  I am not saying
autoconf is better than editing userdefs.h, nor am I saying making
changes to userdefs.h is better than autoconf.  I am saying, if you
want to go the userdefs.h route, then do everything by that method.
Conversely, if you want to use the configure script, then you'd be
better off not editing userdefs.h.

Is this not happening?  Is there something amiss with userdefs.h?
