===============================================================================
To build this code after doing a Git clone, run:
$ acprep update

If you try to configure/build on your own, you are almost certainly going to

- Q: The build fails saying it can't find boost_regex
- Q: Configure fails saying it can't find boost_regex
A: Look in config.log and search for "boost_regex", then scroll down a bit

custom "suffix" on them.
Let's say your Boost was installed in ~/boost, and every library has the
suffix '-xgcc42'. This is what you would run:
CPPFLAGS=-I$HOME/boost acprep --boost=xgcc42 update

- Q: Configure fails saying it can't find MPFR
A: You need MPFR version 2.4.0 or higher. This version does not come with
most Debian distributions, so you will need to build it.
