+Installing tinyproxy 1.3.2
+==========================
+
+ As of 1.3.2, tinyproxy uses Ian Jackson's adns library to perform non-blocking
+DNS lookups. As such, before you can do anything to install tinyproxy, you must
+go into the adns-0.6/ subdirectory off the root tinyproxy distribution directory
+and follow the INSTALL directions therein. Once you have libadns installed,
+follow these steps:
+
+ (1) Run the tinyproxy 'configure' script, found in the root distribution
+ directory. If you're unsure of exactly what arguments to use, please
+ consult the output of 'configure --help'. Additional documentation can
+ be found for configure in the text file INSTALL.configure.
+ (2) Run 'make install'. This will build all of tinyproxy and install it
+ in the default directory. You may also wish to peruse src/config.h
+ to be sure everything is configured to your liking.
+ (3) Read the tinyproxy manpage - it will explain what commandline arguments
+ and parameters are available. More experienced users will probably
+ be able to get all the information they need from the output of
+ 'tinyproxy -h'.
+
+ Enjoy! Please read the documentation carefully, especially the COPYING
+file which should have been included in this archive explaining the licensing
+terms of tinyproxy.
