+librsync is the next generation of librsync, and provides flexible
+checksum-based differencing.  The main application at the moment in
+rproxy, but the library should eventually be generally useful.
+
+  http://linuxcare.com.au/rproxy/
+
+This library was previously known as libhsync up to version 0.9.0.
+
+To use anonymous CVS, see the file README.CVS in this directory.
+
+>> Requirements
+
+To build librsync:
+
+  * A C compiler and appropriate headers and libraries
+
+  * Make
+
+  * popt -- command line parsing library
+
+    Available from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/code/popt
+
+    A cut-down version of popt1.5 is included and will be used
+    automatically if there is no popt library on your build host.
+
+>> Note for RedHat 7.0
+
+RedHat 7.0 (Guiness) ships with a buggy version of GCC 2.96 that
+produces many warnings while compiling librsync.  These are harmless
+-- the library seems to work anyhow.  You can avoid the warnings by
+using the 'kgcc' version of the compiler:
+
+  $ export CC=kgcc
+  $ ./autogen.sh
+  $ make all check
+
+>> Library Versions
+
+librsync uses the GNU libtool library versioning system, so the
+filename does not correspond to the librsync release.  To show the
+library release and version, use the librsyncinfo tool.
+
+>> Platforms
+
+librsync/rproxy is known to run on:
+
+GNU Linux Debian 2.2 x86
+
+SUNWspro: (use -v for more warnings)
+
+mips-sgi-irix6.5: works, but you must use GNU Make rather than the
+default SGI Make.  I used gcc.
+
+>> API Documentation
+
+librsync contains markup for automatic API documentation generation
+using the Doxygen tool:
+
