+Builder
+Copyright © 2006  Mikko Rasa, Mikkosoft Productions
+Version 0.1
+
+
+Builder is a program for building other programs, similar to make, scons and
+others.  It is specifically designed to suit my needs, with the goal of
+minimizing the amount of per-package configuration.
+
+
+* Building Builder
+
+Builder is normally built using itself.  However, if you just downloaded the
+source and don't yet have a Builder binary, how is that possible?  To resolve
+this problem, there's a script called bootstrap.sh in the Builder main
+directory.  Before running it, make sure you have the following libraries
+available:
+
+MSP libraries: misc core parser path regex++ getopt++
+
+Others: sigc++-2.0
+
+Since the MSP libraries are also normally built with Builder, the script will
+need to have their sources available.  By default, it will look at ../libs.
+You can change this by setting the LIBPATH evironment variable for the script.
+If everything goes well, you should have a builder-stage1 binary that you can
+use to build a normal version of Builder.
