+        Free headers and libraries for the Win32 API

+* License
+
+  You are free to use, modify and copy this package. No restrictions
+  are imposed on programs or object files compiled with this library.
+  
+  You may not restrict the the usage of this library.
+
+  You may distribute this library as part of another package or as a
+  modified package if and only if you do *not* restrict the usage of
+  the portions consisting of this (optionally modified) library.
+
+  If distributed as part of another package, please notify the author
+  of what you are going to do.  If distributed as a modified package,
+  this file *must* be included.

+  WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+  MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+* What is it?
+
+  This is a free set of headers and import libraries for the Win32
+  API.  The library differs from the GNU Windows32 library in that I
+  have tried to use a file structure that mirrors Microsoft's.  I
+  don't like having *all* definitions in one single header as in the
+  GNU Windows32 library, I want a clean separation between different
+  parts of the API.
+
+  Daniel Guerrero Miralles contributed the DirectX 6.1 import
+  libraries and DirectX GUID definitions.
+
+  See the files NOTES and TODO for what needs to be done.
+
+* Size does matter
+
+  Since the WIN32 API is severely bloated (as most MS products seem to
+  be) the headers are designed to be as compact as possible, while
+  still being readable, in order to minimize parsing time.
+
+  The convention is to omit parameter names for function prototypes,
+  no excessive white space. Struct/union members are indented with tab
+  characters to make them readable. Comment only when necessary.
+
+  If you are contributing a patch please follow the above mentioned
+  convention. Make sure your editor does not convert tabs to spaces.
+
+* What do I need to use it?
+
+  The library is intended for use with egcs 1.1 or later but it is
+  possible to use with some other tools as well (although it is not
+  very useful). LCC-Win32, MSVC and Borland C++ 5.01 or higher may
+  work as well. The import libraries are for GNU tools only.
+
+  The library requires egcs 1.1 or later, since the `#pragma pack'
+  feature is used. Mumit Khan provides egcs patches and binaries for
+  win32 at `http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/'.
+
+  If you are going to use C++ COM objects, you will need a version of
+  egcs that recognizes the `comobject' attribute and then define
+  HAVE_COMOBJECT when compiling your program. Antonio Mendes de
+  Oliveira Neto has a prebuilt version at
+  `http://li.facens.br/EGCS-WIN32/english/index.html'. Note that this
+  is very experimental. If you want to use COM objects in C++ but with
+  C interfaces you must define CINTERFACE.
+
+  Objective-C programs cannot use COM functionality because of
+  conflicts between the interface define and the Objective-C
+  @interface directive.  There is also a conflict between the windows
+  Obj-C BOOL types. To avoid this conflict you should use WINBOOL in
+  all places where you would use BOOL in a C/C++ windows program. If
+  you include any windows headers *after* `windows.h' you must use the
+  method outlined below:
+
+  /* non-windows includes */
+  #include <objc/objc.h>
+  ...
+  /* windows specific headers */
+  #include <windows.h>
+  #define BOOL WINBOOL
+  #include <commctrl.h>
+  ...
+  #undef BOOL
+  ...
+  /* include other headers */
+
