Note that the zip package is /not/ a Unix source code package, but a
generic platform-independent one; as such it does not conform to the
typical unixoid conventions.
In order to turn the generic source code package into a Unix-specific
one, you'll have to run "prebuild.sh" from the "./unix" directory.
Among other things, this will create the "./configure" script in the
main directory, which then in turn generates the files needed by "make".
