+	This directory (msvc) serves as a central location for all
+	things needed to build the mono runtime using Microsoft Visual
+	Studio.
+
+BUILDING
+
+	From this directory type:
+
+	     msbuild.exe mono.sln /p:Configuration=Debug_eglib
+
+	msbuild must be in your path, it comes with the .NET Framework.
+
+MAINTENANCE
+
+	When new exported API calls are added to the runtime, issue the
+	command:
+
+		make update-def
+
+	in this directory and commit the resulting mono.def file.
+
+	This must happen on a Linux system, because we get the list of
+	the exported symbols from the generated shared library.
