+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+  libid3tag is a library for reading and (eventually) writing ID3 tags, both
+  ID3v1 and the various versions of ID3v2.
+
+  See the file `id3tag.h' for the current library interface.
+
+  This package uses GNU libtool to arrange for zlib to be linked
+  automatically when you link your programs with this library. If you aren't
+  using GNU libtool, in some cases you may need to link with zlib
+  explicitly:
+
+      ${link_command} ... -lid3tag -lz
+
+===============================================================================
+
+BUILDING AND INSTALLING
+
+  Note that this library depends on zlib 1.1.4 or later. If you don't have
+  zlib already, you can obtain it from:
+
+      http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
+
+  You must have zlib installed before you can build this package.
+
+Windows Platforms
+
+  libid3tag can be built under Windows using either MSVC++ or Cygwin. A
+  MSVC++ project file can be found under the `msvc++' subdirectory.
+
+  To build libid3tag using Cygwin, you will first need to install the Cygwin
+  tools:
+
+      http://www.cygwin.com/
+
+  You may then proceed with the following POSIX instructions within the
+  Cygwin shell.
+
+  Note that by default Cygwin will build a library that depends on the
+  Cygwin DLL. You can use MinGW to build a library that does not depend on
+  the Cygwin DLL. To do so, give the option --host=mingw32 to `configure'.
+  Be certain you also link with a MinGW version of zlib.
+
+POSIX Platforms (including Cygwin)
+
+  The code is distributed with a `configure' script that will generate for
+  you a `Makefile' and a `config.h' for your platform. See the file
+  `INSTALL' for generic instructions.
+
+  The specific options you may want to give `configure' are:
+
+      --disable-debugging       do not compile with debugging support, and
+                                use more optimizations
+
+      --disable-shared          do not build a shared library
+
+  By default the package will build a shared library if possible for your
+  platform. If you want only a static library, use --disable-shared.
+
+  If zlib is installed in an unusual place or `configure' can't find it, you
+  may need to indicate where it is:
+
+      ./configure ... CPPFLAGS="-I${include_dir}" LDFLAGS="-L${lib_dir}"
+
+  where ${include_dir} and ${lib_dir} are the locations of the installed
+  header and library files, respectively.
+
+Experimenting and Developing
+
+  Further options for `configure' that may be useful to developers and
+  experimenters are:
+
+      --enable-debugging        enable diagnostic debugging support and
+                                debugging symbols
+
+      --enable-profiling        generate `gprof' profiling code
