+If you have installed @command{gawk} in the standard way, then you
+will likely not need the @option{--with-gawk} option when configuring
+@code{gawkextlib}. You may also need to use the @command{sudo} utility
+to install both @command{gawk} and @code{gawkextlib}, depending upon
+how your system works.

If you write an extension that you wish to share with other
@command{gawk} users, please consider doing so through the
@code{gawkextlib} project.
