+All you need to know when hacking (modifying) GNU libiconv or when building
+it off the CVS.
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+You will need reasonably recent versions of the build tools:
+
+  * A C compiler. Such as GNU GCC.
+    + Homepage:
+      http://gcc.gnu.org/
+
+  * GNU automake
+    + Homepage:
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/
+
+  * GNU autoconf
+    + Homepage:
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/
+
+  * GNU m4
+    + Homepage:
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/
+
+  * GNU gperf
+    + Homepage:
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/
+
+  * GNU groff 1.17 or newer
+    + Homepage:
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/
+
+  * Perl
+    + Homepage:
+      http://www.perl.org/
+
+  * Either an internet connection or a recent copy of GNU gnulib.
+    + Homepage:
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/
+
+And, of course, the packages listed in the DEPENDENCIES file.
+
+
+Building off the CVS
+====================
+
+Access to the CVS is described at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=51585 .
+
+After fetching the sources from the CVS, peek at the comments in autogen.sh,
+then run "./autogen.sh"; then you can proceed with "./configure" as usual.
+
+
+Adding new encodings
+====================
+
+For an indication which encodings are acceptable in the official version of
+GNU libiconv, take a look at NOTES.
+
+For an indication which files need to be modified when adding a new encoding,
+look for example at the 2007-05-25 ChangeLog entry for RK1048.  The lib/*.h
+file for an encoding is usually generated by one of the tools in the tools/
+directory.  All you need to provide is the conversion table in the format of
+the many *.TXT files.
