+** Quick build method on Unix
+
   To quickly build all required software without installing it, the
-  Speedo method may be used:
+  Speedo target may be used:
 
-    cd build
-    make -f ../build-aux/speedo.mk  native
+    make -f build-aux/speedo.mk native
+
+  This target downloads all required libraries and does a native build
+  of GnuPG to PLAY/inst/.  GNU make and the patchelf tool are
+  required.  After the build the entire software including all
+  libraries can be installed into an arbitrary location using for
+  example:
+
+    make -f build-aux/speedo.mk install SYSROOT=/usr/local/gnupg24
+    ldconfig -n /usr/local/gnupg24/lib
+
+  and adding /usr/local/gnupg24/bin to PATH.

-  LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $(pwd)/PLAY/inst/lib to test the binaries.
