README: convert to markdown
It's still human readable, but also renders better on systems like github.

It is focused on the ELF +format, but does include a Mach-O helper too for OS X systems. + +While heavily integrated into Gentoo's build system, it can be used on any +distro as it is a generic toolset. + +Originally focused only on [PaX](https://pax.grsecurity.net/), it has been +expanded to be generally security focused. It still has a good number of +PaX helpers for people interested in that. + +## Building + +Just run `make`. This should work on any recent POSIX compliant system. + +Note: To rebuild the man-pages, you will need xmlto and the docbook-xml-dtd + packages installed on your system. + +## Installation + +`make install` + +You don't need PaX to use the pax-utils. Infact the only thing they +really have in common is that pax-utils was initially written to aid in +deploying PaX systems so it includes support for PT_PAX_FLAGS and the +deprecated but still in use EI_PAX flags.
