Revised README, added Strawberry Perl, replaced the dead link to the outdated NMAKE.EXE with the instruction for the MS-Windows users to use Module::Build instead. NMAKE does not work now anyway.

### Install with [ExtUtils::MakeMaker]
`reslog` uses standard Perl installation with ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
Follow these steps:
% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
% make install
When running `make install`, make sure you have the privilege to
write to the installation location. This usually requires the `root`
write to the installation locations. This usually requires the `root`
privilege.
If you are using ActivePerl under MS-Windows, you should use `nmake`
instead of `make`. [nmake can be obtained from the Microsoft FTP site.]
For MS-Windows, since `make` is not universally available,
Module::Build is preferred to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. See the
instructions below.
If you want to install into another location, you can set the
`PREFIX`. For example, to install into your home when you are not
`root`:
% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/jessica
Refer to the documentation of ExtUtils::MakeMaker for more
installation options (by running `perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker`).
### Install with [Module::Build]
You can install with Module::Build instead, if you prefer. Follow
these steps:
% perl Build.PL
% ./Build
% ./Build test
% ./Build install
When running `./Build install`, make sure you have the privilege to
write to the installation location. This usually requires the `root`
write to the installation locations. This usually requires the `root`
privilege.
