Dear all,

Please go to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1631  to find a 
patch for README.txt. Could you please find a chance to check whether the 
information is up-to date?   
(pay special attention to KNOWN ISSUES and TODO sections) 
In this connection I'd like to ask you to:

1. Check whether we need info about the compilers described below:
 
      + Microsoft 32-bit C/C++ Compiler, version 7 or higher
        + Windows platform SDK
        + Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 or higher
        + Intel C++ Compiler, version 9.0

2. If we really need the aforementioned compilers, should we mention the        
        following:

3.7 You can switch between the different compilers and modes by using 
    the environment variables, as follows:
   
                            On Windows*:             |  On Linux*:
                            -------------------------+----------------------
    MSVC compiler     :     set CXX=msvc           # |  N/A     
    Intel(R) compiler :     set CXX=icl              |  export CXX=icc 
    GCC compiler      :     N/A                      |  export CXX=gcc         
etc



3. Is this still a dependency for Linux?
   
   libxml2 package

4. Do we really need all stuff specified as additional (section 2.TOOLS AND   
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES REQUIRED FOR THE BUILD)?

Your suggestions/comments/ideas are very welcome. :)

Best regards, 
Nadya Morozova

I was looking at the patch, and think we should just chuck the whole
README.txt, salvage what's good, put it on the website, and put a
pointer in the README.txt to the website.
