    set of parameters to print.
+   
+  11) What is configure all about?
+  
+   The files configure and configure.in are part of the GNU autoconf
+   package. Configure allows us to test for various capabilities of the
+   OS, and to set variables that can then be tested in C programs and
+   Makefiles. Autoconf is installed on the PostgreSQL main server. To add
+   options to configure, edit configure.in, and then run autoconf to
+   generate configure.
+   
+   When configure is run by the user, it tests various OS capabilities,
+   stores those in config.status and config.cache, and modifies a list of
+   *.in files. For example, if there exists a Makefile.in, configure
+   generates a Makefile that contains substitutions for all @var@
+   parameters found by configure.
+   
+   When you need to edit files, make sure you don't waste time modifying
+   files generated by configure. Edit the *.in file, and re-run configure
+   to recreate the needed file. If you run make distclean from the
+   top-level source directory, all files derived by configure are
+   removed, so you see only the file contained in the source
+   distribution.
+   
+  12) How do I add a new port?
+  
+   There are a variety of places that need to be modified to add a new
+   port. First, start in the src/template directory. Add an appropriate
+   entry for your OS. Also, use src/config.guess to add your OS to
+   src/template/.similar. You shouldn't match the OS version exactly. The
+   configure test will look for an exact OS version number, and if not
+   found, find a match without version number. Edit src/configure.in to
+   add your new OS. (See configure item above.) You will need to run
+   autoconf, or patch src/configure too.
+   
+   Then, check src/include/port and add your new OS file, with
+   appropriate values. Hopefully, there is already locking code in
+   src/include/storage/s_lock.h for your CPU. There is a backend/port
+   directory if you need special files for your OS.
