+* Building Individual Directories
+=================================
+
+You can build individual components in the hierarchy by running the command
+"make", and to install it use "make install".
+
+By default, the 2.x profile is built, if you want to build the net 1.1 profile,
+use the following command:
+
+	make PROFILE=net_1_1
+
+And to install:
+
+	make PROFILE=net_1_1 install
+
+To turn on verbose mode in the build (for example to diagnose a
+problem), you can use the V=1 flag, like this:
+
+	make V=1
+
+* Running Unit tests
+====================
+
+You can run unit tests in individual components by running the command
+"make run-test".  If you want to run tests for a different profile (say
+'net_1_1')
+
+	make run-test PROFILE=net_1_1
+
+If you want to only run the tests in a single fixture (say
+'MonoTests.System.TypeTest'), you can use
+
+	make run-test TEST_HARNESS_FLAGS=/fixture:MonoTests.System.TypeTest
+
+* Acknowledgements
+==================
 
 Thanks a lot to Sergey Chaban for his help during the development of
 the C# compiler.
