yes, that too.  but the times that I have had to give extra flags to
configure, I have read all 3.  the configure --help option was easiest because
it had all the options concisely contained in 2 pages of info, rather than 8
or so pages of detailed explanation.  (i'm talking mutt and gcc).  I guess
taht unless you know specifically what you are looking for the INSTALL file is
the best first place to go.
