-Compile Options:
-  DESTDIR
-  	Prefix of install target, used for package building.
-  USE_LOG
-  	If set to 'true', udev is able to pass errors or debug information
-  	to syslog. This is very useful to see what udev is doing or not doing.
-  	It is enabled by default, don't expect any useful answer, if you
-  	need to hunt a bug, but you can't enable syslog.
-  DEBUG
-  	If set to 'true', very verbose debugging messages will be compiled
-  	into the udev binaries. The actual level of debugging is specified
-  	in the udev config file.
-  USE_SELINUX
-  	If set to 'true', udev will be built with SELinux support
-  	enabled.  This is disabled by default.
-  EXTRAS
-  	list of helper programs in extras/ to build.
-        make EXTRAS="extras/cdrom_id extras/scsi_id extras/volume_id"

-Installation:
-  - The install target intalls the udev binaries in the default locations,
-    All at boot time reqired binaries will be installed in /lib/udev or /sbin.
-
-  - The default location for scripts and binaries that are called from
-    rules is /lib/udev. Other packages who install udev rules, should use
-    that directory too.
-
-  - It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices directory to place
-    device nodes and symlinks in, which are copied to /dev at every boot.
-    That way, nodes for broken subsystems or devices which can't be
-    detected automatically by the kernel, will always be available.
-
-  - Copies of the rules files for the major distros are provided as examples
-    in the etc/udev directory.
-
-  - The persistent device naming links in /dev/disk/ are required by other
-    software that depends on the data udev has collected from the devices
-    and should be installed by default with every udev installation.
