install-log is a simple shell script to aid in package management when
installing from source code.  Run "install-log <package-name>" immediately
after you type "make install" (or whatever you do to install something), and
it'll make a list of all the changes to your filesystem to
/var/log/install-log/<package-name> for you to review when uninstalling,
upgrading, or just simply taking account of your system.  It's also good for
identifying the owner of a particular file; just grep for it in
/var/log/install-log/*.

Note that you are better off not including the version number in package-name,
because doing so makes it harder to upgrade later on.  It's not terribly
important to log what version is currently installed, because most programs
will tell you when asked, and you most likely are keeping the source tarball
which has the version number in its filename.

Type "make install" now to install install-log and a sample install-log.rc file.
It'll also test itself by making a log of its own installation.  Confirm the
results by looking at the contents of /var/log/install-log.

Read LFS-HINT for a more in-depth tutorial and for upgrade information.
