Glad it could help, and sorry the install file wasn't clear enough.  The
thing that typing "make" does, is this part of the install:

2.      Rename all the files that begin with "dfl_" to the same
        filename without the "dfl_".  (eg. "dfl_config.inc" gets
        renamed to "config.inc")

Did you only rename dfl_config.inc?  I guess we need to specify each
file explicitly in the INSTALL file, like this:

  dfl_config.inc  ->  config.inc

This certainly shouldn't take anyone 5 hours to install, so let us know
what you think would be a good way to go about this (remember to use
"reply to all" so it goes to all the developers and not just me.)

Thanks!
