I've committed to CVS the following changes ...

INSTALL.CVS, a new procedure for building FreeTDS from CVS for if and
when the generated intermediate files are removed from CVS. It is
attached to this message.

autogen.sh, a new script that performs the configuration of FreeTDS from
CVS, or after a 'make maintainer-clean'.

Adjustments to the build instructions in the INSTALL, README and User
Guide, since 'gmake' does not work on most systems I've tried that have
GNU Make installed.

A change to the FreeTDS User Guide URL, which went from .htm to .html
(the old URL generates a 'Forbidden' error).

1) satisfy build dependencies, ensure that the following packages are
installed:

automake (GNU Automake, generates Makefile.in from Makefile.am)
autoconf (GNU Autoconf, generates configure from configure.in)
libtool (GNU Libtool, library creation support scripts)
make (GNU Make, appears on some systems as gmake)
gcc (GNU Compiler Collection, for C code compilation)

2) execute autogen.sh to run automake, autoconf and configure,

./autogen.sh

3) compile the source using make, (or gmake if your system's make is
not GNU make),

make

5) switch to a user that can write to the target installation
directory, usually root,

su root

4) install the package,

make install
