+Building the library
+--------------------
+
+This distribution is developed on Red Hat Linux 6.0 and usually
+compiles on SunOS 5.6 and FreeBSD 2.27. I have reports of success of
+previous version on MacOS ( with CodeWarrior ) but I don't know about
+any other systems.
+
+The library is configured with automake. From the root directory, run
+
+ ./configure
+
+To build all of the Makefiles for your system. If you will be installing the library, you may want to use the --prefix flag to set the directory where the library and header files will be installed.
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/proj/local/
+
+If configure runs fine, run "make" to build the library and
+"make install" to install it.
+
+The current version of libical focuses on creating and
+manipulating iCal objects. With it, you can parse text representations
+of iCal components, add and remove sub-components, properties,
+parameters and values, and print the components back out as strings.
