+Libnsfb - NetSurf Framebuffer Library
+=====================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+ Libnsfb is a framebuffer drawing library with a simple interface,
+ providing a consistent API across a number of framebuffer implementations.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+ Libnsfb requires the following tools:
+
+ + A C99 capable C compiler
+ + GNU make or compatible
+ + Pkg-config
+
+ Libnsfb also requires the following libraries to be installed:
+
+ + SDL 1.2 (for the SDL backend)
+ + libxcb* (for the X11 backend)
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+
+ If necessary, modify the toolchain settings in the Makefile.
+ Invoke make:
+ $ make
+
+Verification
+------------
+
+ To verify that the parser is working, it is necessary to specify a
+ different makefile target than that used for normal compilation, thus:
+
+ $ make test
+
+API documentation
+-----------------
+
+ Currently, there is none. However, the code is well commented and the
+ public API may be found in the "include" directory. The testcase sources
+ may also be of use in working out how to use it.
