ntop

I thought that I would try and install this, but alas the package from
ntop.org (via sourceforge) is incomplete, or poorly documented.

The tarball contains the ascii file : INSTALL, which has this at the top
of it:
"Basic Installation
==================

Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should
configure, build, and install this package. The following
more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README' file for
instructions specific to this package."

Of course, the file configure is not in the tarball ntop-4.0.tar.gz:-
# pwd
/tmp/ntop-4.0.1
# find | grep configure
../misc/configure.in.perl
../misc/configure.in.lua
../configure.in
../configureextra
../configureextra/FREEBSD
../configureextra/AIX
../configureextra/LINUXredhat9
../configureextra/functions
../configureextra/readme
../configureextra/LINUXsuse
../configureextra/SOLARIS8
../configureextra/LINUXwhitebox3.0
../configureextra/openbsd
../configureextra/HPUX
../configureextra/LINUXredhat3
../configureextra/LINUXredhat8.0
../configureextra/SOLARIS9
../configureextra/python-config
../configureextra/DARWIN
../configureextra/LINUXmandrake
../configureextra/SOLARIS10
../packages/FreeBSD-ports/net/ntop/files/patch-configure
../packages/FreeBSD-ports/net/ntop/files/patch-configure-in
