+Maintaining the Class Library Solution Files
+============================================
+
+Mono now ships with a solution file that can be used to build the
+assemblies from an IDE.  Either by opening the topmost `net_4_x.sln`
+file, or to by loading one of the individual `csproj` files located in
+each directory.
+
+These are maintained by extracting the configuration information from
+our Makefiles, which as of May 2016 remain the canonical location for
+configuration information.
+
+When changes are made to the Makefiles, a user would need to run the
+following command to re-generate the solution files at the top level:
+
+       $ make update-solution-files
