-role of Z39.50 and SRU.
-
-On Unix, GNU configure is used to configure YAZ and generate Makefiles.
-Type "./configure", then "make" to build YAZ. Read
-doc/installation.unix.html for details.
-
-On Windows, a MS Visual Studio makefile is provided (nmake). The commands
-  cd \win
-  nmake
-should do. Refer to doc/installation.win32.html for details.
-
-Note: If you are using the Git snapshot of YAZ you must have autoconf,
-automake, libtool and xsltproc installed. Before running configure, create
-support files by running buildconf.sh in the top-level directory of YAZ.
