I'm not going to give you advice about this package.

General advice for your next similar situation:

1) Instead of asking an open-ended question (that makes it seem like you
have not tried to figure things out), try to do what you want to do, see
what happens, try to resolve problems, and then if/when you are stuck,
write and in addition to mentioning your goal, say what you did and what
happened.  When you do, include the key lines from output; don't
summarize them.

2) When wondering about a package, read the files in the package
directory.  I realize that if you haven't learned BSD make and pgksrc
development the code is hard to read, but often it is possible to
understand something anyway.  Sometimes people working on packages even
include comments.  This might be one of those times, and it might not!
