+    The most important result of <code>./configure</code> is the
+    creation of the file <code>common/Make.global_options</code>. This
+    file contains compiler options, pathes, etc which you may want to
+    use in the Makefiles of your own projects. It is definitely a good
+    idea to include it into your Makefile, to allow using the same
+    flags for compilation between library files and the files of your
+    project, and to access the pathes of the library files. To find
+    out about the supported flags, take a look at the file.
