     21 		<p>Most modern software distributions include an autoconfigure utility which
     22 			customizes the build and install configuration according to the specific
     23 			hardware, operating system and file system conventions. For NTP this
     24 			utility is called <tt>configure</tt>, which is run before building and installing
     25 			the program components. For most installations no additional actions
     26 			are required other than running <tt>configure</tt> with no options.
     27 			However, it is possible to customize the build and install configuration
     28 			through the use of <tt>configure</tt> options.</p>
     29 		<p>The available options, together with
     30 			a concise description, can be displayed by running  <tt>configure</tt>		 	with
     31 			the <tt>--help</tt> option. Various options can be used to reduce the memory
     32 			footprint, adjust the scheduling priority, enable or disable debugging
     33 			support or reference clock driver support. The options can be used
     34 			to specify where to install the program components or where to find
     35 			various libraries if they are not in the default place.</p>
