* Added a dire sounding note about how crypto is required to build theimp2000-06-291-0/+7
| | | | | | | | system. Well, not really required if you know what you are doing, but there's enough people that don't fit into this class that are getting burned now that we need to say it is required. The actual message says that one should treat it as if it was required to try to be weasilly for the nitpickers amoung us :-)Killed by signal 2.

| | | | | | o add note about binutils 2.10 fixing the problems noted on 20000522. o Add some very brief text to the '612 entry on the config changes. A better howto would be warmly added to the file.
