Please add INSTALL instructions

I see "configure.ac" so I supposed I should try "autoconf":

# autoconf
configure.ac:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

Then trying configure:

# ./configure 
./configure: line 2239: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: command not found

configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."

Installed "shtool" package into the system, but the result stays the same. So, what are the depencencies and how to build the program? I see not a word about that in the README.

Oh I see now, there is INSTALL in the doc folder, given there is a README is in the root of the project, I expected that INSTALL would also be there.

[rendragnet]

That would make sense. This is pretty much the first package I've ever seen which doesn't have the INSTALL file in the root of the project.. Which is why I'm now here in the bugs list finding out how to build it :)
