HOWTO

# LibSTK
# ======
# LibSTK source is provided via a tarball snapshot or Subversion. I
# include instructions for both below.

## Both versions failed to build for me using gcc 3.4.5, with or without
## --enable-tests, (which I mention because it failed in the 'test'
## subdirectory) with errors like these:
# test_app.cpp:44: error: `log_level' does not name a type
# test_app.cpp:44: error: extra ;'
# test_app.cpp: In function `int parse_args(int, char**)':
