+If you run 'configure' and 'make install' as root or use the SUDO
+option, GNUnet's build system will install "libnss_gns*" libraries to
+"/lib/" regardless (!) of the $GNUNET_PREFIX you might have specified,

+include those libraries in your binary package(s). Similarly, if you
+want to use the GNUnet naming system and did NOT run GNUnet's 'make
+install' process with SUDO rights, the libraries will be installed to
+"$GNUNET_PREFIX/lib" and you will have to move them to "/lib/"
+manually.
