 It currently generates bitstreams using ALL of the decoder features supported

 There are still a few outstanding bugs, and the HVS model is very experimental.
+The encoder is not built by default.
 
 Building:
 On Unix or Cygwin, building through automake is now supported.
 On a fresh checkout, run:
-./autogen.sh
+./autogen.sh --enable-encode
 From a distribution tarball, run:
-./configure
+./configure --enable-encode
 Then run:
 make
 make install
