 General Principles
 ------------------
 
-There are two things you have to decide earlier on: whether or not to
-install Evolution in the same prefix as the rest of your GNOME
-install, and whether to use GOAD or OAF.
+First you have to decide whether you want to install Evolution (and
+its dependencies) into the same prefix as the rest of your GNOME
+install, or into a new prefix. Installing everything into the same
+prefix as the rest of your GNOME install will make it much easier to
+build and run programs, but may make it harder to uninstall later.

-   If you do not do this, you will need to set GNOME_PATH to include
-   the prefix you install into. Eg:

+variable (and ACLOCAL_FLAGS as well if building from CVS) to include

+	export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"
 
-   (You need to do this both during compiling AND when you run
-   evolution.)
-
-   Remember if you're installing into an odd prefix such as /evolution
-   that you also need to make sure to put ${prefix}/bin in your PATH.
-
-
- - GOAD is the "old" (GNOME 1.x series) object activation system. OAF
-   is the new (unreleased, GNOME 2.x series) system.
-
-   As of bonobo 0.14, OAF is the default activation system for Bonobo.
-   If you want to use OAF, you will need to install the oaf package
-   before building Bonobo. If you want to save a little time and stick
-   with GOAD, you should pass the flag "--enable-oaf=no" to bonobo's
-   configure script.
-
-   Note that Nautilus requires OAF, so if you have built or are
-   planning to build Nautilus as well, you should use OAF.

+need to set GNOME_PATH both during compiling AND when you run
+evolution. Remember also that if you're installing into an odd prefix
+such as /evolution, that you also need to make sure to put
+${prefix}/bin in your PATH.
