Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed +with `gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the +`configure' script in the top-level directory. Some directories +supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. After you +have installed the files you need to register the new entities in +the database system by running the commands in the supplied .sql +file.
