+ I. OVERVIEW
+
The xauth program is used to edit and display the authorization
information used in connecting to the X server.
The underlying "Authorization Protocol for X" is described in the
README file of the libXau module of X11.
+ II. BUILDING
+
+Use "./autogen.sh" to configure the package and "make" to compile it.
+A black box check for the correctness of the package can be initiated
+by "make check" (make sure to install "cmdtest" from
+http://liw.fi/cmdtest/). The installation is done by "make install".
+
+ III. COMMUNICATION
+
All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
Xorg mailing list:
