INSTALL-1.18
This patch fixes two problems in the INSTALL file in 5.004. This fix is
appropriate for 5.004_01.
First, the INSTALL file erroneously claims you can set all the install*
variables from the Configure command line. You can't. That's awaiting my
-Dinstallprefix patch, which is so far down on the ToDo list that it may
never get done.
Second, I misspelled 'override'. I had two 'v's and one 'r'. :-)
