+How to "compile" the check_nwc_health script.
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+1) Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile, etc.
+
+	./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-nagios-user=SOMEUSER --with-nagios-group=SOMEGROUP --with-perl=PATH_TO_PERL
+
+   a) Replace BASEDIRECTORY with the path of the directory under which Nagios
+      is installed (default is '/usr/local/nagios')
+   b) Replace SOMEUSER with the name of a user on your system that will be
+      assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
+   c) Replace SOMEGRP with the name of a group on your system that will be
+      assigned permissions to the installed plugins (default is 'nagios')
+   d) Replace PATH_TO_PERL with the path where a perl binary can be found.
+      Besides the system wide perl you might have installed a private perl
+      just for the nagios plugins (default is the perl in your path).
+
+
+2) "Compile" the plugin with the following command:
+
+	make
+
+    This will produce a "check_nwc_health" script. You will also find
+    a "check_nwc_health.pl" which you better ignore. It is the base for
+    the compilation filled with placeholders. These will be replaced during
+    the make process.
+
+
+3) Install the compiled plugin script with the following command:
+
+	make install
+
+   The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugin in a 
+   'libexec/' subdirectory in the base directory you specified with
+   the --prefix argument to the configure script.
+
+
+4) Verify that your configuration files for Nagios contains
+   the correct paths to the new plugin.
+
+
+
+Command line parameters
+-----------------------
+
+You'll find the command line parameters on the website mentioned above.
+If it does not exist or is not up to date, this means that i hadn't the
+time to write/update it yet. I am aware of it, so please don't send me
+mails. Just accept it.
