 To build Nautilus without interfering with an existing Gnome install,
 you will need to build several components from CVS into a separate
 prefix.
 
 For example, you could install these components into /usr/local/gnome2
 or /usr/local/nautilus. Do do this, make sure to specify these with
-the --prefix option to autogen.sh or configure.
