+<p>Be sure to extract the files with the Windows (CR+LF) line endings.
+ZIP archives are already stored this way, so no further step is required.
+If you use some .tar.*z archives, be sure to configure your extracting
+tool to convert the line endings. For example, with
+<a href="http://www.winzip.com">WinZip</a>, you should set the "TAR file
+smart CR/LF Conversion" option on. Alternatively, you may consider using
+the "unix2dos" or "u2d" utilities that are floating around, which
+specifically deal with this particular problem.

 <p>Build directories are placed in the top-level "objs" directory</p>
