21		<p>Most modern software distributions include an autoconfigure utility which
22			customizes the build and install configuration according to the specific
23			hardware, operating system and file system conventions. For NTP this
24			utility is called <tt>configure</tt>, which is run before building and installing
25			the program components. For most installations no additional actions
26			are required other than running <tt>configure</tt> with no options.
27			However, it is possible to customize the build and install configuration
28			through the use of <tt>configure</tt> options.</p>
29		<p>The available options, together with
30			a concise description, can be displayed by running  <tt>configure</tt>		 	with
31			the <tt>--help</tt> option. Various options can be used to reduce the memory
32			footprint, adjust the scheduling priority, enable or disable debugging
33			support or reference clock driver support. The options can be used
34			to specify where to install the program components or where to find
35			various libraries if they are not in the default place.</p>
