+Instructions for building BitlBee on Windows 
+================================================
+
+1. Download the latest version using bzr (http://www.bazaar-ng.org/):
+
+   H:\> bzr branch http://win32.bitlbee.org/bzr bitlbee-win32
+   ...
+
+2. Download and install the required development files: 
+    from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/win32/
+    - glib
+    - glib-dev
+    - libiconv (in dependencies/)
+    - gettext (in dependencies/)
+    from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/
+    - nss (in security/nss/)
+    - nspr (in nspr/)
+
+  glib and gettext are only required for actually running BitlBee - building
+  should work fine without them.
+
+3. Set the following variables in Makefile.settings, if you don't have the 
+   libraries above installed in the default directories searched by MSVC:
+
+   - GLIB_DIR
+   - NSS_DIR
+   - NSPR_DIR
+
+4. Build:
+
+	H:\BitlBee> nmake /f win32.mk
+	...
+
+5. To build setup files, compile the bitlbee.iss file using the Inno Setup 
+   program (available from www.jrsoftware.org).
