Added the installtion instructions from the Wiki and removed reference

to Debian woody packages. I had recently quite a lot of e-mails
asking about the permissions of the comedi files and every time the
the problem was that the udev rules were installed in /usr/local/etc.

Configure with one of the following commands:
# For udev: "./configure --with-udev-hotplug=/lib --sysconfdir=/etc"
# For old hotplug: "./configure --enable-etc-hotplug --sysconfdir=/etc"
This makes sure that the udev files are installed in /etc and not
in /usr/local/etc.
Configure with './configure'. './configure --help' will give the
configuration options. If the configure script does not exist
(if you checked comedilib out from cvs for example), it can
be generated by running './autogen.sh'. The autoconf, automake,
autoheader, etc. tools are required to generate the configure
script (automake version >= 1.5 recommended).

Compile using 'make'. If this doesn't work, make sure you have the
basic tools installed to compile. If you can successfully compile
basic tools installed to compile. If you can successfully compile
other things, consult the author, as he has probably made a mistake.
Install using 'make install' as root. This installs the files:
/usr/lib/libcomedi.so.0.3
/usr/lib/libcomedi.so.0.x
/usr/include/comedi.h
/usr/include/comedilib.h
and other things...
If you run Debian GNU/Linux, comedilib is packaged as the packages
libcomedi0 and libcomedi-dev. These are available as part of woody.
To write programs that use comedi, look at examples in the demo/ and
the documentation in the doc/ directory.
