                            The install command
                                      
   Usage
   
   install [-interactive] [-debug]
   
   Command install is the installation program for SmallEiffel The GNU
   Eiffel Compiler.
   This command (class install.e) is entirely written in Eiffel and is
   the recommanded one to install SmallEiffel The GNU Eiffel Compiler.
   
   The install.e source code as well as the generated C code install.c
   are in the SmallEiffel directory.
   
   If you are under some UNIX (or some GNU Linux) system and if you want
   to use the gcc compiler like we do, simply type make in the
   SmallEiffel directory (the Makefile which is in the SmallEiffel
   directory C-compile and launch automatically the install command).
   
   If you are using a Windows system, a precompiled install.exe is
   available too in the SmallEiffel directory, just run it. On other
   systems, the very first step for installation is to C compile the
   install.c file in order to run it.
   
   Options
   
   -interactive:
          By default, the install command try to determinate
          automatically the system name as well as the C compiler name.
          When the flag -interactive is used, the user is interactively
          asked for the system name and the C compiler to select.
   -debug:
          Displays a lot of informations useful to debug the installation
          process. Also interresting if you are curious to see what the
          install command is really doing (or trying to do).
