Ratproxy build instruction about ratproxy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ratproxy by itself does not take any complex or unusual steps to build - it's 
just
'make', plus perhaps a reasonably well-described update to 'flare' that the user
would be prompted for if necessary. The only thing missing from the doc is 
perhaps a
note on one of the Makefile -W flags that might need to be removed.

Other than that... setting up a generic development environment on Linux 
(downloading
and installing gcc, libc-devel, openssl, etc) or on Windows (downloading Cygwin,
checking appropriate packages) is not really within the scope of documentation 
for
any individual application (there are lots of resources on this already).

For people with no experience with, and no environment for, building programs 
from
scratch, a better alternative would be to provide compiled binaries. 
Unfortunately,
because the initial version requires some command-line utilities to be 
available,
this seemed impractical on Windows in the short run.
