+To avoid conflicting with Slackware's elvis and vim packages, this build
+installs binaries to /opt/ex-vi/bin and man pages to /opt/ex-vi/man,
+along with a script in /etc/profile.d to prepend these paths to PATH and
+MANPATH. If you *really* want, you can replace the /usr/bin/vi symlink
+(that normally points to elvis or vim), but it shouldn't be necessary.
+
+After installing, either log out & back in, or "source
+/etc/profile.d/ex-vi.sh". To temporarily disable the scripts, remove
+their execute bits. Users can always set PATH and MANPATH in their own
+dotfiles, of course.
