	It may be distributed under the same terms as Mail Notification.

1. Dependencies

	Mandatory libraries:

		* GTK+ (version 2.4.0 or superior)
		  http://www.gtk.org/

		  http://www.gnome.org/

	Optional libraries:

		  GMime (version 2.1.0 or superior)
		  http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/

		* for Gmail support:

		  GNOME (version 2.8.0 or superior)

		* for SASL authentication support:

		  Cyrus SASL (version 2.0 or superior)

2. Instructions

	Mail Notification uses the well-known GNU build system. Hence,
	the following usual sequence will probably satisfy most users:

		$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
		$ make
		<get root privileges, if needed>
		$ make install

	IMPORTANT:

		* You must install Mail Notification in the same
		  prefix as GNOME (commonly /usr or /opt/gnome). To
		  know where GNOME is installed on your system, type:

			$ pkg-config --variable prefix libgnome-2.0

		* Due to a bug in bonobo-activation
		  (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151082),
		  your session must be restarted after installing Mail
		  Notification.

	The ./configure script options are documented below. They are
	enabled by default and automatically disabled if a requirement
	is not met, so you probably do not need to use them.
