There was a bug. It is now fixed in the tree. You can get the fix by:

   cd .../coyotos/src
   make update

Note that you want to have the "fetch" extension enabled in your ~/.hgrc
as I suggested earlier before you do this.

Don't make a link in /coyotos. That's a bad idea, because you will
forget about it, and when we package for Debian/Ubuntu thinks will
break.

Modifying the makefiles is also undesirable. If you don't want to update
to the fixed configure script, one alternative is to use

	cd .../coyotos/src
        make COYOTOS_XENV=/home/youshe/coyotos

but my suggestion is to grab the updated configure script. Once you get
the COYOTOS_XENV variable set right, you should:

	cd .../coyotos/src
	make pristine

Sorry about the errors here. Obviously this is a path that we are not
testing very much.

Docs are only built if you did "configure --enable-docs". The doc tree
is skipped if you do not enable that option.
