+REQUIREMENTS:
+ At least Erlang-R13B with smp enabled. It Requires unicode support.
+
+ Linux, Mac, Solaris-10 or Windows.
+
+ On linux you will need wxWidgets-2.8 compiled with everything
+ enabled, including unicode and opengl support.
+
+ And I have given up on Solaris-8|9, wxWidgets on my old gtk version
+ doesn't run well, 7 of 10 wxWidgets examples seg fault.
+ Some early tests show that Solaris 10 works, though.
+
+INSTALLING:
+ The prebuilt (windows and mac) version can be installed by invoking:
+ install.es
+ or
+ /PATH/TO/ERL/bin/escript install.es
+
+BUILDING:
+ You will need wxWidgets-2.8.*
+
+ On mac I built wxwidgets with:
+
+ mkdir MYBUILD; cd MYBUILD
+ ../configure --with-opengl --enable-unicode --enable-graphics_ctx \
+ --enable-gnomeprint \ On unix only
+ --disable-shared
+ make && make install
+ cd contrib/src/stc/
+ make && make install
+
+ On linux I have used the wxwidgets-libraries that came with
+ the distribution. It requires wxStyledTextControl which was
+ prebuilt on my linux, otherwise you have to build wxWidgets
+ by your self as on the mac above.
+
+ On windows I used MinGW and Msys, I build wxwidgets with:
+
+ mkdir MYBUILD; cd MYBUILD
+ ../configure --prefix=/c/local/ --with-opengl --enable-graphics_ctx \
+ --enable-unicode --disable-shared --with-msw
+ make && make install
+ cd contrib/src/stc/
+ make && make install
+
+ You should also build wxerlang with msys and mingw since
+ I havn't tested on cygwin at all.
+ You need to use werl on windows, erl (non-gui) hangs wxwidgets startup.
+
+ make
+ should work if erl, gcc and g++ and wx-config is found in path.
+
+
+HELPING:
+ See TODO list.
+ Use it, i.e. write code which tests the library, submit tests.
+ See api_gen/Readme for improving the code generation.
+ My C++ knowledge isn't the best, send patches and explain why
+ so I can learn something.
+
+STATUS:
+ Testing I havn't done more testing than the code in test directory.
+ So please help by testing and writing test suites.
+ Most classes needs some argument tweaking (in wxapi.conf) to
+ work as expected, but I havn't read all the documentation and
+ gone through every argument on every function.
+
+ See (and run) the demo in the examples directory.
+
+ This library is (currently) a driver, so if the you (or I) make errors,
+ such as accessing deleted objects or other things wxWidgets didn't
+ expect you to do, erlang will crash hard.
+
+Cheers
