+This is mknetrel, a collection of shell scripts to build Cygwin
+packages.  Mknetrel can be used natively on Cygwin, or in a cross
+build environment (the default is cross building on GNU/Linux).
+
+Get the latest version here:
+   cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cygwin-apps co mknetrel
+
+To use mknetrel, you must setup a cross build environment.  See the
+Cygwin mailing list archives for more info on this.  When porting a
+new package to Cygwin, it is advisable to install latest CVS versions
+of autoconf, automake and libtool.
+
+You also need Cygnus' Cygwin package, 1.3.10 or newer, and w32api from
+a mirror of:
+
+     ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/release
+     http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
+
+and, depending on which package you want to build, other library and
+development packages from Cygwin, such as: zlib gettext libintl2
+libiconv2 jpeg libpng10 libpng10-devel python tetex tiff zlib.
+
+This can be automated by running the cygwin-cross tools from:
+
+   http://lilypond.org/cygwin/cygwin-cross.tar.gz
+
+[doco how to do this from cygwin cvs, deprecate cygwin-cross tools.]
+
+Mknetrel reads config vars from your `~/.mknetrel'.  Here's what I
+use:
+
+    cygwin_root=/home/cygwin
+    netrel_root=$cygwin_root/netrel
+
+Then, you run mknetrel as:
+
+   wget -P/tmp ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/mirrors/cygwin/release/ed/ed-*-1-src.*bz2
+   rm -rf /home/cygwin/netrel/src/ed-*
+   mkdir -p /home/cygwin/netrel/src && cd /home/cygwin/netrel/src
+   tar xjf /tmp/ed*bz2
+   cd -
+   ./bin/mknetrel ed
+
+to build the ed package, or do
+
+   ./bin/mknetrel -h
+
+for a short help summary.
+
+
+If you are not using mknetrel on GNU/Linux, you'll want to add:
+something like this in your ~/.mknetrel:
+
+    build_cxx='g++'
+    build_cc='gcc'
+    build_ranlib='ranlib'
+    build_dllwrap='dllwrap'
+    build_ar='ar'
+    build_nm='nm'
+    build_strip='strip'
+    build_config_opts=''
+
+(this will probably be fixed in a later version).
+
+Send bug reports and comments on mknetrel to: cygwin-apps@cygwin.com.
+This is a subscribers-only mailing list, so you'll need to subscribe
+first.  Please do not email the authors directly.
