Re: install GIFT

Hi,

then gift seems to be working properly. You need to index a database 
before starting gift makes sense. You also need a client interface to 
actually use a started gift server with a database.

There is not much documentation but the most important commands are 
described in the readme, I think.

Cheers, Henning
