-The Makefile hierarchy is currently set up to install everything under
-/opt/themwi; however, if you are running 'make install' from the top, you can
-change to any other install prefix (just like ./configure --prefix in the world
-of Autotools) with INSTALL_PREFIX= variable.
+The new split-components version of Themyscira Wireless software uses configure
+scripts - you need to run ./configure before running 'make'.  However, our
+configure script is hand-coded, not Autotools/autohell, hence there is no
+autoreconf nonsense involved.
 
-Unlike /opt/freecalypso, /opt/themwi is much less rigid, i.e., you can change
-this install location without breaking everything.  However, I have yet to work
-out exactly how themwi-csw and themwi-smsc will locate the pieces they require
-from themwi-nanp (libraries and header files), and there is a strong likelihood
-that /opt/themwi/include and /opt/themwi/lib paths will be hard-coded in
-themwi-csw and themwi-smsc component Makefiles.
+Standard --prefix, --exec-prefix, --bindir, --includedir and --libdir options
+are supported for changing installation directories; the default prefix is
+/usr/local, following general FOSS community conventions.
