------------------------------------------------------------
1. What's needed ?
------------------------------------------------------------

Tools :
	* GNU make
	* C++ compiler, which supports namespaces, and templates (any
	  recent version of GCC under Linux and Windows, Visual C++ 6, etc.)

Libraries :
	* SDL, a library that handles sound, threads, window creation,
	  independently of the OS. Supported OSes are : Unix, BeOS, MacOS,
	  Windows, etc..

	* VARIOUS STANDARD LIBRARIES
	  Those are zlib, libpng and libjpeg, they are normally installed with
	  a default installation.
	  Be aware that you also need to have their "devel" counterparts
	  installed (with headers).

	* MOZILLA JS LIBRARY
	  You must have the mozilla JS library installed. You can get the latest
	  version (Ark is known to work with version 1.5rc3)  from the mozilla
	  website:
	  	http://www.mozilla.org/js

	  As this library is still a release candidate, there's no install script.
	  To compile it and install it to /usr/local, type the following
	  commands :
		$ cd js-1.5rc3
		$ make -f Makefile.ref
		$ su                         To get root priviledges if needed
		# cp `find . -name "*.so"` /usr/local/lib
		# cp `find . -name "js*.h"` /usr/local/include
		# ldconfig

	You should also check that /usr/local/lib is in your /etc/ld.so.conf


	* OPENGL
	  OpenGL is the portable graphic library of Silicon Graphics, and is
	  normally installed on recent versions of any decent operating system.
	  If you don't have an OpenGL implementation for your graphic, you'd
	  bettar call your vendor to ask where you can find one.

	  You can still run with software OpenGL, using Mesa by example. But
	  unless you have a really really fast processor, this will be too slow
	  for the purposes of the game. Anyway you can download Mesa from :
		http://www.mesa3d.org

------------------------------------------------------------
2. I've got everything, now how can I compile ?
------------------------------------------------------------

Type :
	./configure --help

Check the options, and use those you think you may need... If everything is
in standard places, there should be no problem.

Now, type :
	./configure [options]
	make

If everything goes right, you can then start the client with the builtin
server :
	./Client/arkclient

Warning : You need to have game data installed... You can have sample data
from :
