How to go about installing this thingamabob:

* Run the ./configure script.  Valid options can be displayed with
'./configure --help'.

* Run 'make', and if that works, 'make install'!  There *should be*
no compile-time warnings.  Let me know if there are.

* If you want more than *just* a tagline as your .signature, create
the file ~/.signature.tmpl (the signature template) and describe what
you want your actual signature to be.  Include ONLY ONE %s in it, and
that will be replaced by a random tagline.  This is used directly in a
printf-type context.  This file will be checked for updates just like the
taglines files are, so you can edit this file without having to stop &
restart gensig.

* New in 2.3:  Other %-tags in the signature template will be
replaced by variables as follows:

	%D: time since last signature was generated
	%H: a message indicating that this is the first signature
		generated today (if appropriate)
	%R: count of signatures generated since gensig was started
	%T: time since gensig was started
	%Y: count of signatures generated today

* Run 'gensig' and it will put itself into the background.

* 'cat ~/.signature` a few times -- and that's what it's all about!

WHERE TAGLINES ARE READ FROM:

The first place we look for taglines is in the files & directories
specified on the command line.  We continue on to the next place
to look only if there are no files or directories specified on the
command line, or if the -a/--add flag is specified.

The second place we look is an environment variable called TAGLINES.
This is a colon-separated list of files and directories.  If this
environment variable doesn't exist, or if it has a trailing colon,
we continue on to the next place to look.

The third place to look is in the user's home directory -- a file
or directory called .taglines is searched.  If this doesn't exist
as a file or directory, we continue on to the next place to look.

The fourth, and last, place to look is in ${prefix}/share/gensig/taglines.
The install-prefix defaults to $HOME, but may also be something like
/usr/local.  The 'make install' step installs this file, but it
may also be replaced by a directory of the same name.
