-System requirements
-===================
-
-Compiling the mlt tool requires a "working version" of SML/NJ. It's
-best to use version 110.49 or later. Earlier versions have
-incompatibilities, bugs, or both. You may have problems with any
-version whatsoever, though, since this stuff uses some SML/NJ compiler
-internals, and they may change often.
-
-
-=============
-Configuration
-=============
-
-Modify the parameters in settings.sml as appropriate for your system.
-
-If it is possible for you to modify a file /etc/mlt.conf, then you
-can edit this file to set various options related to locations of
-important files on your file system. In particular, you may want to
-set the 'compiler', 'lib', and 'sml' options (documented in the
-manual) if you have SML/NJ installed somewhere besides /usr/local/sml
-or the mlt src directory somewhere besides /usr/local/share/mlt/src.
-If you can't modify /etc/mlt.conf, then you can change the first
-variable definition in src/config.sml to a different path, or you can
-leave it as is and provide all configuration in the local mlt.conf
-file for each project.
-
-You should also edit the paths in the simple install script in this
-directory if you want to install system-wide binaries and scripts to
-somewhere besides /usr/local/bin.
-
-These changes may be made for you by a fancy configuration program in
-a future release.
-
-
-========
-Building
-========
-
-All sources may be built by running the build script in this
-directory. It does a clean re-build of all source files and stabilizes
-all libraries produced. The build script is not appropriate for use
-during development. Use the standard SML/NJ CM mechanisms if you are
-changing the code and don't want to recompile everything each time.
-
-[There is probably a better way to do this, but I haven't figured one
-out yet.]

+Building
+========
+
+All sources may be built by running the 'build' script in this
+directory. It does a clean re-build of all source files and stabilizes
+all libraries produced. The build script is not appropriate for use
+during development. Use the standard SML/NJ CM mechanisms if you are
+changing the code and don't want to recompile everything each time.
+
+The 'install' script installs the 'mlt' program to the BINDIR
+specified in settings. You can also copy the generated mlt.conf file to
+/etc or wherever else you specified for the DEFAULT setting.
