+<b>A note about C compilers</b>: If you do not have <em>gcc</em>
+as the name of your C compiler (e.g. on MacOS X, <em>gcc</em> is
+called </em>cc</em>), then you need to set the CC environment variable
+with the real name of the compiler at configuration time.  For instance:
+<pre>    CC=cc  ./configure --buildwith=...</pre>

-To build and use Hat, you will need GNU make, a Haskell'98 compiler
-that supports the standard FFI, and <em>hmake</em>.  Here are the
-minimum versions of compilers that we recommend: anything earlier
-than these is unlikely to interoperate correctly with Hat.

+The browsing tools use the <em>glib</em> C library, which is related to
+the larger <em>gtk+</em> set of libraries.  It is important that
+you have version glib-1.2.x (although you may also have another version
+glib-2.0.x installed simultaneously).  The latest version in the
+1.2.x series is <em>glib-1.2.10</em>, and it is available from
+<a href="ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/">ftp.gtk.org</a>.  The automatic
+configuration for <em>Hat</em> will discover whether <em>glib</em>
+is already installed or not.
