4.6.0 is better.

--with-screen=mcslang to avoid dependency on S-Lang library.

It would be nice to compile against static glib, but it needs to be done
manually.  For example, move shared glib library temporarily to some other

make GLIB_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/libglib.a

Stripped and optimized.  That's the default.

OK.  I haven't used commercial UNIX for a long time.  I thought packages
are preferred by users.  If they are not, it's fine to use zip or tar.Z.
