Ok, here's a couple of things I wasn't able to fix myself because of lack of
time and knowledge :/

- if the configure script can't find the --with-kerneldir directory, it should
scream like crazy and shut down

- the check on libbfd doesn't seem to have any effect on the compilation

- if libncurses can't be found, it should at least not compile mon.c if not
screaming something and then shutdown

- the setpe executable actually ends up in the bindir, while it's always been
in sbindir (in fact in the init script it is searched in that path and it's
correct to have it in /sbin since you don't want normal users to see/use it)

- under debian you need to manually edit the init script in order to change the
/var/lock/subsystem dir into simply /var/lock

- if the --with-configdir is specified, it should automatically replace the
config file dir into the SysV init script so that no manual change is necessary

I need to fix the README: no make dep is necessary but a "make menuconfig
oldconfig" should be all right since it is during the oldconfig process that it
makes the links to the right directories (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Ciao, Mirko.
