DETAILED BUILDING AND INSTALLATION:
`./src/epaths.h' from the template file `./src/epaths.in', changing
the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'.
-2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates
-executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `make-docfile' and
-`digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others.

-- The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into
- a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them.
2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in
`./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the
