README: convert to markdown

It's still human readable, but also renders better on systems like github.

-pax-utils is a small set of various PaX aware and related utilities for 
-ELF binaries. It was written for ELF Q/A on Gentoo systems but can be 
-used on any distro.

-Note: to rebuild the man-pages, you will need xmlto and the docbook-xml-dtd

+
+pax-utils is a small set of utilities for peforming Q/A (mostly security)
+checks on systems (most notably, `scanelf`).  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. For more information about PaX
+see the homepage at http://pax.grsecurity.net/

+If you include pax-utils in your distro, feel free to send an update for this.
