+Introduction:
+=============
+
+Loudmouth is a lightweight and easy-to-use C library for programming with the
+Jabber protocol. It's designed to be easy to get started with and yet
+extensible to let you do anything the Jabber protocol allows.
+
+The goal is to fully support Linux, *BSD, Mac OSX and Windows. It has
+currently only been tested on Linux (Red Hat 8.0, Debian Unstable) and FreeBSD
+that I know of. If someone with access to other machines can provide
+feedback I would be most grateful.
+
+
+Requirements:
+=============
+
+Glib >= 2.0:
+ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.2/
+
+gtk-doc (optional, if you want documentation built):
+ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtk-doc/1.0
+
+
+Building:
+=========
+
+./configure --prefix=
+make
+make install
+
+
+Debugging:
+==========
+
+You can get debug information printed to STDOUT by using the environment 
+variable LM_DEBUG.
+
+export LM_DEBUG=<keyword>
+
+Where keyword is one or more (separated by :) of the following:
+
+* "NET": Shows all the data sent over the network.
+* "PARSER": Shows debug output from the parser.
+* "VERBOSE": Shows various verbose output.
+* "ALL": Enables all output.
