+  1.15 How do I port libcurl to my OS?
+
+  Here's a rough step-by-step:
+
+  1. copy a suitable lib/config-*.h file as a start to lib/config-[youros].h
+
+  2. edit lib/config-[youros].h to match your OS and setup
+
+  3. edit lib/curl_setup.h to include config-[youros].h when your OS is
+     detected by the preprocessor, in the style others already exist
+
+  4. compile lib/*.c and make them into a library
