Log Message: 
Alter the licensing of libstatgrab. The library part is now under the
LGPL, whilst the tools/examples are under the GPL. Both licenses are
included in the distribution (and are both now in CVS). Also made a
minor alteration to the webpage where it said everything was licensed
under the GPL.

24
25 ./configure
26 make
27
28 Then install as root;
29
30 make install

39 Cygwin Notes
40 ------------
41
42 If you have installed libncurses-devel but the configure script can't
43 find ncurses.h, you've most likely hit a bug in the cygwin package. To
44 fix this run: /etc/postinstall/libncurses-devel.sh.done
