-Original Installation Instructions For Tsocks
----------------------------------------------
-
-1. Explenations of the ./configure options which might be of interest (and that are 
-   specific to tsocks include):
-	--disable-tordns	This option disables tordns, which causes
-				names to be looked up in a way designed to
-				work well with Tor.
-	--enable-socksdns	This option causes tsocks to intercept
-				DNS lookups and attempt to force them
-				to use TCP instead of UDP and thus
-				be proxied through the socks server. This
-				is not a very elegant thing to do and
-				should be avoided where possible.
-	--disable-debug		This configuration option tells tsocks
-				to never output error messages to stderr.
-				This can also be achieved at run time
-				by defining the environment variable
-				TSOCKS_NO_ERROR to be "yes"
-	--enable-oldmethod	This forces tsocks not to use the
-				RTLD_NEXT parameter to dlsym to get the
-				address of the connect() method tsocks
-				overrides, instead it loads a reference
-				to the libc shared library and then uses
-				dlsym(). Again this is not very elegant
-				and shouldn't be required.
-	--enable-hostnames	This enables DNS lookups on names
-				provided as socks servers in the config
-				file. This option is not compatible with
-				tordns or socks dns, since tsocks
-				can't send a socks dns request to resolve
-				the location of the socks server. 
-	--with-conf=<filename>	You can specify the location of the tsocks
-				configuration file using this option, it
-				defaults to '/etc/tsocks.conf'
-
-Other standard autoconf options are provided by typing './configure
---help'
-
-2. Created files:
-
-	- libtsocks.so - the libtsocks library
-	- validateconf - a utility to verify the tsocks configuration file
-	- inspectsocks - a utility to determine the version of a socks server
-	- saveme - a statically linked utility to remove /etc/ld.so.preload
-		   if it becomes corrupt
-	- man pages - tsocks(8), tsocks(1) and tsocks.conf(5)
-
-3. Configuration
-
-You'll need to create the tsocks configuration file.
-There are two samples provided in the build directory and 
-/usr/local/share/examples/tsocks called 
-tsocks.conf.simple.example and tsocks.conf.complex.example.
-Documentation on the configuration file format is provided in the
-tsocks.conf man page ('man tsocks.conf'). 
-
-4. Having created the tsocks.conf file you should verify it using
-validateconf (some detail on validateconf can be found in the tsocks.conf
-man page). Normally validateconf is run without arguments
-('./validateconf'). Any errors which are displayed by validateconf need
-to be rectified before tsocks will function correctly.
-
-5. You can now choose to make the library affect all users or just those
-who choose to use it. If you want users to use it themselves, they can
-simply use the tsocks(1) shell script to run programs (see 'man tsocks')
-or do the following in their shell before running applications that need
-to be transparently proxied:
-
-	(in Bash) export LD_PRELOAD=<path to library>
-
-	(in CSH) setenv LD_PRELOAD <path to library>
-
-	<path to library> = e.g /usr/local/lib/tsocks/libtsocks.so.1.8
-
-6. Go ahead and use it! At this point everything should work. Again, if
-you experience any problems, use the contact points listed at
-http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/contact.php. 
-
-Thats it,
