[Yhc] Compiling

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi,

Attached is a patch for the not running configure problem. If they
user hasn't run configure, then typing "make" gives:

Makefile:1: Makefile.inc: No such file or directory
Makefile:9: *** Please run configure first.  Stop.

I have no idea if this will break everything horribly :)

Thanks

Neil
