README for Kite
==============================================================================

Kite is a programming language designed with lightweight systems in mind. On OS X Leopard,
the main Kite library is only 88KB, with each package in the standard library weighing in
at 13-30KB. Besides size considerations, the design philosophy is that of minimalism--only
include the minimum necessary, while giving developers the power to write anything that they
can write in any other language. With that in mind, we aim to put up the fewest roadblocks
to development out of most other languages.

Installation
===============================

Since this package uses GNU Autoconf and Automake, installation is a simple matter
of running the following:

./configure
make
make check
make install

Total build time should only take a few minutes on any modern machine. For more
information, please see the INSTALL file.

Documentation
===============================

Documentation is available in multiple formats. By default, make install installs
Texinfo documentation (viewable using "info kite"), but you can build any other format
by using one of the following:

make install-dvi
make install-pdf
make install-ps
make install-html

These will install documentation in the format given after "install-" in 
/usr/local/share/kite by default (unless changed by ./configure --prefix or other
means).
