+This is a very trivial program that loads and excercises a PKCS#11
+module, trying basic operations. I used it as a basic check that
+my data-only modules for NSS worked, and I'm including it here as
+a first sample test program.
+
+
+This program uses GNU autoconf: run ./configure --help for info.
+In addition to the standard options, the configure script accepts
+the following:
+
+ --with-nspr[=path] specify location of NSPR
+ --with-nss-dist[=path] specify path to NSS dist directory
+ --with-nss-hdrs[=path] or, specify path to installed NSS headers
+ --with-rsa-hdrs[=path] if not using NSS, specify path to RSA headers
+ --disable-debug default is enabled
+
+This program uses NSPR; you may specify the path to your NSPR
+installation by using the "--with-nspr" option. The specified
+directory should be the one containing "include" and "lib."
+If this option is not given, the default is the usual prefix
+directories; see ./configure --help for more info.
+
+This program requires either the pkcs11*.h files from RSA, or
+the NSS equivalents. To specify their location, you must
+specify one of --with-nss-dist, --with-nss-hdrs, or --with-rsa-hdrs.
+
+If you have an NSS build tree, specify --with-nss-dist and provide
+the path to the mozilla/dist/*.OBJ directory. (If you got this
+package by checking it out from mozilla, it should be about six
+directories up, once you've built NSS.)
+
+Alternatively, if you have an NSS installation (including "private"
+files, e.g. "ck.h") you may point directly to the directory containing
+the headers with --with-nss-hdrs.
+
+If you would rather use the RSA-provided header files, or your own
+versions of them, specify their location with --with-rsa-hdrs.
+
+The flag --disable-debug doesn't really do much here other than
+exclude the CVS_ID info from the binary.
+
+
+To run the program, specify the name of the .so (or your platform's
+equivalent) containing the module to be tested, e.g.:
+
+ ./trivial ../../../../../../dist/*.OBJ/lib/libnssckbi.so
+
+
+If you're using NSS, and using our experimental "installer's
+arguments" fields in CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS, you can specify an
+"installer argument" with the -i flag:
+
+ ./trivial -i ~/.netscape/certs.db [...]/libnssckdb.so
+
+
+Share and enjoy.
