-Linux build instructions
-
-The Linux build is, so far, a bit hackish. Things might not work on another
-system than mine, but it should work. The source/gcc/ folder contains some
-header files that exist to override and bug-fix some system headers. If you
-have trouble with them, try renaming the offending header, and see if it does
-you any good ;-)
-
-What do I need?
-
-- Xerces-C++ installed and in standard include path
-- glext.h - you can put it in source/gcc/GL/ if you don't have access to the
-	system include path
-- The Makefile is made for GCC 3.x.x - GCC 2.x might work, but it's not likely
-
-Where are built things put?
-
-The linux makefile follows the general directory layout of the VS workspaces:
-
-source/gcc/: makefile, system header overrides
-binaries/: The built binaries - called "prometheus"
-source/gcc/deps/: Automatically generated dependency information for all
-	source files
-source/gcc/o/: Object files
-
-Makefile Targets:
-
-all (default): build the prometheus executable
-prof: build the prometheus.prof executable (instrumented version with call-counting)
-clean: Remove all object, depend, and executable files
-
-run: build prometheus and run it (from the binaries directory)
-runProf: build prometheus.prof and run it
