Brian Behlendorf 53be2266e1 Add quick build instructions
Full update to date build information will stay on the wiki for
now, but there is no harm in adding the bare bones instructions
to the README.  They shouldn't change and are a reasonable
quick start.

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and dont want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure $ make pkg

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/
