 README for Win32
 ================
 
-LyX has been ported to Win32 using the Cygwin environement.
-See README.Cygwin for details.
+If you just want to use LyX, get the official Windows installer and
+use that. More detailed help can be found on the wiki at 
+http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows.
 
-Ever since Ruurd Reitsma made his port of LyX 1.3.3 to Windows
-available to the general public in 2003, users of LyX/Win have had to
-fight to overcome bugs that simply weren't present on other
-platforms. Ruurd did a superb job in writing the original port, but
-didn't have the resources to squash all the irritating little bugs
-discovered by many people using LyX "for real". 
+If you want to compile LyX yourself, there are a number of ways to do
+that.
 
-The official LyX line on these LyX/Win ports has always been that
-it's nice to know they exist but we won't support them
-officially. There were two reasons for this: we didn't have the
-necessary knowledge or resources and, until recently, only
-closed-source versions of the Qt GUI library existed. The increasing
-maturity of the Qt/Win Free project means that this latter point is
-no longer true, so we felt that we should make the effort and make
-LyX/Win an official part of LyX.
+LyX has been ported to Win32 using three different compilers:
+Microsoft Visual Studio C++ compiler (VC). MinGW gcc, or Cygwin gcc.
 
-As a result, LyX 1.3.6 cannot really be classified as a minor bug fix
-release, especially for Windows users. Large chunks of the code base
-have been touched in an attempt to resolve those problems that
-Windows users have found with Ruurd's original ports. We feel
-confident that LyX 1.3.6 will be the best ever version of LyX on
-Windows. We are not confident, however, that we haven't introduced
-any new bugs.
+There are also three different build solutions avaiable: Scons, Cmake
+or using the traditional Unix autoconf machinery.
+
+INSTALL.scons covers how to build using SCons, using any of the three
+compilers.
+
+development/cmake/README.cmake explains how to build using CMake. This
+is especially good with VC, because it produces real .sln files.
+
+See INSTALL.win32 for info about how to build using Cygwin.
+
+Joost has prepared a .zip package with most of the stuff that you'll
+need to compile LyX yourself. Get that from 
+ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc.zip.
+Unzip in c:\program files\ and rename the directory to gnuwin32, and 
+you will find that the CMake solution works almost out of the box,
+if you have Visual Studio.
 
-Detailed installation instructions can be found in INSTALL.Win32 for
-those who wish to compile LyX for themselves. For the rest of us,
-LyX/Win comes with its own installer, so installation should be pretty
-straightforward. As always, more detailed help can be found on the
-wiki at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows.
