There should be a "make install" to copy executables and libraries to their
proper places.

And using this should be mentioned in the build instruction steps at the URL for
the bug.

The document at:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/getstarted.html#unixpath
should also mention where to copy the executables/libs FROM.

After I finished compiling according to the steps, it took me 10 minutes to find
where things were built to.  And with no make install, I was reading through
"install-sh" in the src dir, etc.

Newbie docs:  Does XALANCROOT always need to be set inorder to /use/ the
library?  Can I delete the distribution dir after I have installed things?

A note directing RedHat users to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf might
also be helpful.
