./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Options:
  -h, --help                   Displays help on commandline options.

  -t, --title <YadQt>          Title.
  -b, --body <Information>     Body.
  -d, --default <keithhedger>  Default text ( lists, forms etc, 1st positional arg passed will overide this ).
  --fromstdin                  Read default data from stdin.
  --width <640>                Dialog width ( set to 0 for default size for
                               dialog ).
  --height <320>               Dialog height ( set to 0 for default size for
                               dialog ).
  --opseparator <|>            Separator for multi item output ( use "newline"
                               to use '\n' ).
  --ipseparator <|>            Separator for multi item default text input ( use "newline"
                               to use '\n' ).
  --multiple                   Select multiple items ( lists ).
  --btntoerr                   Print button to stderr.
  --buttons <Ok>               Buttons ( for info boxes ).
  --type <aboutqt>             Box Type ( no type will display aboutbox for Qt ).
