+<p><b>Version 5.6</b> uses the old mechanism. This does compiles cleanly on Linux,
+most of the time, but is extremely old and rather difficult to maintain.
The installation instructions are complex but straightforward provided you
follow the instructions. <i>Please</i> read the README; it provides a detailed
walk-through of the compilation process, telling you what to type at each stage.
+I'm afraid you may not get much help with building the 5.6 release, simply because
+I don't understand it very well myself.
