We don't need to detect what kind of Pascal flavour is installed so the 
configure step is not needed.

There are deb files available. When 1.0.8 is released it will also be 
uploaded to debian. I already contacted the debian maintainer for this. But 
we dependent on him to do the real upload

Unzip/untar the sources and run 'make install' and everything is build and 
installed with the prefix /usr/local. 'make build' will only build 
everything and doesn't install. 'make linuxzip' will build the tar.gz 
files, just like the linux release has. 'make deb' will build .deb with the 
current date in the version number. 'make rpm' will build the .rpm files.
