+If you've obtained the source code by downloading a .tar.gz archive
+from the Puzzles web site, you should find several Makefiles in the

+automatically generated by `mkfiles.pl', so run that to create them.

+The Makefiles include:

+   as input to automake. Run `mkauto.sh' to turn these into a
+   configure script and Makefile.in, after which you can then run
+   `./configure' to create an actual Unix Makefile.
