+Installation for dxa
+--------------------
+
+dxa should build out of the box with any even vaguely recent version of gcc.
+You might need to do some tweakage for non-Unix systems or cc. I have tested
+it on AIX, NetBSD and Mac OS X/Darwin. -- Cameron Kaiser
+
+1. Uncomment LONG_OPTIONS in options.h if you have getopts_long() and want
+   long options (--example). This is purely optional.
+2. Edit the Makefile and make sure your compiler and CFLAGS make sense. The
+   default works for most people.
+3. "make"
+4. Documentation in man format is in dxa.1.
+
+Please keep in mind this is still considered "alpha" software and there may
+be bugs, which is why it is not part of the official xa distribution yet.
