+Building GHDL from sources for Windows:
+***************************************
+
+Note: this was tested with Windows XP SP2 familly edition.
+
+Note: If you want to create the installer, GHDL should be built on a
+FAT partition.  NSIS rounds files date to be FAT compliant (seconds are always
+even) and because GHDL stores dates, the files date must not be modified.
+
+Required:
+* the Ada95 GNAT compiler (GNAT GPL 2005 is known to work).
+* NSIS to create the installer.
+
+Unzip,
+edit winbuild to use correct path for makensis,
+run winbuild.
+
+The installer is in the windows directory.
+
+Send bugs and comments on http://gna.org/project/ghdl
