+This directory contains project files for building zlib under various
+Integrated Development Environments (IDE).
+
+If you wish to submit a new project to this directory, you should comply
+to the following requirements. Otherwise (e.g. if you wish to integrate
+a custom piece of code that changes the zlib interface or its behavior),
+please consider submitting the project to the contrib directory.
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+- The project must build zlib using the source files from the official
+ zlib source distribution, exclusively.
+
+- If the project produces redistributable builds (e.g. shared objects
+ or DLL files), these builds must be compatible to those produced by
+ makefiles, if such makefiles exist in the zlib distribution.
+ In particular, if the project produces a DLL build for the Win32
+ platform, this build must comply to the officially-ammended Win32 DLL
+ Application Binary Interface (ABI), described in win32/DLL_FAQ.txt.
+
+- The project may provide additional build targets, which depend on
+ 3rd-party (unofficially-supported) software, present in the contrib
+ directory. For example, it is possible to provide an "ASM build",
+ besides the officially-supported build, and have ASM source files
+ among its dependencies.
+
+- If there are significant differences between the project files created
+ by different versions of an IDE (e.g. Visual C++ 6.0 vs. 7.0), the name
+ of the project directory should contain the version number of the IDE
+ for which the project is intended (e.g. "visualc6" for Visual C++ 6.0,
+ or "visualc7" for Visual C++ 7.0 and 7.1).
