------
-
-These are *brief* instructions on how to build this package from CVS.
-Yes, there are details left out.
-
-There are generally four steps necessary when building from CVS (i.e.,
-a developer's copy):
-
-1. cvs checkout of the sources, or cvs update.  RTFM from your
-   favorite flavor of CVS documentation; information on the xiph.org
-   CVS repository can be found at http://www.xiph.org/cvs.html.
-
-2. [re-]generate files such as "configure" and "Makefile.in" with the
-   GNU autoconf/automake tools.  Run the "autogen.sh" script to
-   perform this step.  
-
-   *** IF YOU ARE NOT BUILDING WITH GNU MAKE *AND* GCC: you must set
-   the AUTOMAKE_FLAGS environment variable to "--include-deps"
-   before running autogen.sh.  For example:
-
-   csh% setenv AUTOMAKE_FLAGS --include-deps
-   csh% ./autogen.sh
-     or
-   sh% AUTOMAKE_FLAGS=--include-deps ./autogen.sh
-
-3. Run configure.  There are several options available; see
-   "./configure --help" for more information.
-
-4. Run "make" to build the source.  
-
-In general, steps 2 and 3 need to be re-run every time any of the
-following files are modified (either manually or by a cvs update):
-
-	  configure.in
-	  acinclude.m4
-
-Running "make clean" after running steps 2 and 3 is generally also
-advisable before running step 4.  It isn't *always* necessary, but
-unless you understand the workings of autoconf/automake, it's safest
-to just do it.

-NEW AND IMPORTANT:
+Vorbis is a general purpose audio and music encoding format
+contemporary to MPEG-4's AAC and TwinVQ, the next generation beyond
+MPEG audio layer 3. Unlike the MPEG sponsored formats (and other
+proprietary formats such as RealAudio G2 and Windows' flavor of the
+month), the Vorbis CODEC specification belongs to the public domain.
+All the technical details are published and documented, and any
+software entity may make full use of the format without license 
+fee, royalty or patent concerns.
 
-If you're used to the source distribution from the first two beta
-releases, things are now rearranged a bit.  Specifically, the
-'vorbis' CVS module contains only the libvorbis, libvorbisfile, and
-libvorbisenc libraries.  Because Ogg bitstreams are to be used by other 
-Ogg codecs, Ogg framing and streaming functionality is now in libogg 
-(the 'ogg' CVS module).  Vorbis utilities are in 'vorbis-tools' and various
-player plugins are in 'vorbis-plugins'.  For now, you'll need to check
-out these other modules seperately. (Note: the xmms plugin is in the xmms
