The reason here is that the configure script aborts when it encounters
arguments it doesn’t expect, such as the CONFIG_SHELL argument.  As a
result the “config.mak” file is never created.

I’ve got this to build by making the custom configure script a little
more tolerant.

I also changed the description to be a full sentence.  I’ve upcased
“TCP”, “SOCKS”, and “HTTP”.  The synopsis has also been simplified.

The license was too limited.  The license headers (in the files that
have them) include the “or later” clause, so this is really GPLv2+.

I’ve also added a comment as to why the tests have been disabled.

If this looks okay to you I’ll push it later today.
