  - unix/configure is for Unix and GTK. If you don't have GTK, you
    should still be able to build the command-line utilities (PSCP,
    PSFTP, Plink, PuTTYgen) using this script. To use it, change
    into the `unix' subdirectory, run `./configure' and then `make'.

 All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file
 `Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections
 to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and
 corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves.
