2. Instructions

	Mail Notification uses the GNU build system. Hence, the
	following usual sequence will probably satisfy most users:

		$ ./configure
		$ make
		<get root privileges, if needed>
		$ make install

	IMPORTANT:

		* Due to a bug in bonobo-activation
		  (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151082),
		  your session must be restarted after installing Mail
		  Notification.

	The configure script options which are specific to Mail
	Notification are documented below.
