QUICK DESCRIPTION AND USAGE GUIDE:
----------------------------------
When compiling a kernel you may wish to know roughly how much of the kernel
has compiled - that is what KPC does.

Simply start compiling your kernel (MAKE ZIMAGE, MAKE BZIMAGE, etc) on one
terminal, then start KPC on another terminal - KPC should tell you: what
version is compiling and how much it has compiled (in a percentage (%) ).


THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT:
----------------------
		* check network or serial terminals (only local tty ones)
		* check for MAKE MODULES completion status (although it does
		  roughly work)


THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES:
----------------------
		* grep
		* sed
		* bash
		* setterm
		* sleep
		* chmod (for security)


INSTALLATION:
-------------
Just run the file "INSTALLER", located in this distribution. It installs
the file (kcp.sh) in the program/ directory into /usr/local/bin and creates
a symbolic link as /usr/local/bin/kcp.


TODO:
-----
	* Improve documentation
	* Build in detection for MAKE MODULES, MAKE MODULES_INSTALL, etc
	* add command-line options
	* change from doing "setterm -dump" to checking for the existance
	  of *.o files
	* Look for other ways that the program can be enhanced
