2017-08-15Convert README to README.md.Gerald Combs1-1/+1
Convert the contents of the top-level README to Markdown and give it a .md extension. Most of our documentation is plain text or AsciiDoc, but the top-level README file in a Git repository is special in that many online browsers will show the README contents along with the directory listing and those browsers tend to favor Markdown. This is true of GitHub (which we're currently mirroring to), Gerrit via its Gitiles plugin (which we're not yet using but likely will), and other places. Add "foreign" to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. There is probably a joke to be made here about the FSF and border walls.

2014-08-13More INSTALL updates.Jeff Morriss1-41/+36
- We now support Gtk+-3, Gtk+-2, and Qt (Gtk+-1 is long dead). - Sync several of the configure options to what ./configure actually does (don't bother listing features which default to disabled though). - Don't mention sysconfdir since manuf doesn't go there any more (it goes in datadir). - Remove special install instructions for an ancient version of libpcap. - Point users to the Q&A site.

Remove some trailing white space at the same time. (The ./configure options in INSTALL are significantly out of date--that will be the subject of a separate commit.)
