*** Quick install instructions (tested on debian/ubuntu only!) ***

$ ./bootstrap.sh
	(this will run autoconf/automake)

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
# make install

# addgroup --system avahi
# adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup avahi avahi
	(These commands are Debian specific and may be different on other
	distributions)

# /etc/init.d/dbus-1 restart
	(This whill restart DBUS and avahi too)

While "make" and "boostrap.sh" may be run as normal users all other commands
need to be run is root.

*** Note ***

- On other linux distributions, the dbus initscript may be different (eg redhat
/etc/init.d/messagebus).  You need to restart dbus to make it know about
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/avahi-dbus.conf .
