Eric, unfortunately the current installtion method is manual. I have
been on-and-off hacking at the install.sh/cfg to make it a little
easier on a generic system. I will try and finish that up sometime
soon, but in the meantime, manual installation isn't all that tough:

- build the binaries
- decide where you want them to live, put them there (adjust permissions)
- generate site and local keys, see docs (on sourceforge)
- create a twcfg.txt, using the doc's as a reference, sign it with twadmin
- edit the policy/twpol.txt to taste, and sign it with twadmin
- initialize a database
- install in cron or however you want to run it.

Again, I realize this is less than optimal -- if you have problems,
shoot the list some email and I will be happy to help.

P.S. The docs are on sourceforge:
