Description

   any is the set of libraries, written in shell. They are designed for
   launch with rdd frontend. Together this set allows to read data from .ini
   config files, construct static shell file and launch different build
   tasks.

     $ DESTDIR=WORKDIR ./install.sh

   To install binaries and documentation to some place, shared across all
   working directories, type:

     $ ./install.sh system

   Variable DESTDIR is used to keep the path to the root install destination.
   Its default value is:

     $ DESTDIR=${HOME}/rrr ./install.sh system
