+Info manual in the meantime.
+
+For convenience, here's a short glance at the 
+build process (while the manual isn't finished):
+in the source package root directory, type:
+
+	mkdir =build && cd =build
+	../configure --prefix=/path/to/installation/dir
+	make
+	su -c "make install"
+
+if you want to generate API documentation via Doxygen:
+	
+	make apidox
+
+if you want PDFs of the user and developer manuals,
+
+	make pdf
+
+As simple as that.
