[Ti] 2 q's: vi and make

[Jacob Ritorto]

configure is part of the autoconf tool; however typically, developers
will set up autoconf such that you can type ./configure in the root of
the source to generate makefiles without actually having to install
autoconf.

sometimes you actually have to run autoconf yourself to generate a
./configure script, though.  That requires having the whole autoconf
package installed.  Annoying.

make is a commonly used system program and is likely to be included in
the 'bsd subsystem' of macosx, but I've not confirmed this and don't
have access to one at the moment.  type man make.

to fire up vi, you'll need to open a terminal, type vi and hit enter.
for convenience, you may decide to augment the command to specify
which file you're wanting to VIsually edit.
