README: convert to markdown It's still human readable, but also renders better on systems like github.

It still has a good number of +PaX helpers for people interested in that. + +## Building + +Just run `make`. This should work on any recent POSIX compliant system. + +Note: To rebuild the man-pages, you will need xmlto and the docbook-xml-dtd + packages installed on your system. + +## Installation + +`make install` + +You don't need PaX to use the pax-utils.
