     BRIEF OVERVIEW
     ==============
 
-    This is an alpha release of the freeglut package. Currently only
-    the alpha version of freeglut-1.3 library is available.
-    
+    This is the freeglut package.
+
     Freeglut, the Free openGL Utility Toolkit, is meant to be a free alter-
     native to Mark Kilgard's GLUT library. It is distributed under an X-Consor-
     tium style license (see COPYING for details), to offer you a chance to use 
     and/or modify the source.
-    
-    It makes use of OpenGL, GLU, GLib and pthreads-win32 libraries. GLib is 
-    LGPL'ed and I hope I do not violate it's license by using it. In case this 
-    is true, please notify me so that I remove GLib usage from the project.
-    
-    The library does not make use of any GLUT code and is not 100% compatible.
-    Code recompilation and/or slight modifications might be required for your
-    applications to work with freeglut.

     INSTALLATION
     ============
 
-    See the INSTALL file.
-    
-    
+    Use the following commands to build from scratch on a *nix X11 platform:
+
+        ./autogen.sh
+        ./configure
+        make
+
+    The first command is only needed after a fresh checkout, a source distribution
+    already contains all necessary files for the last two steps.

     believe it would be nice for people fresh new to OpenGL see how the things
     are done...
