+This directory contains project files for building zlib under various
+Integrated Development Environments (IDE).
+
+If you wish to submit a new project to this directory, you should comply
+to the following requirements.  Otherwise (e.g. if you wish to integrate
+a custom piece of code that changes the zlib interface or its behavior),
+please consider submitting the project to the contrib directory.
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+- The project must build zlib using the source files from the official
+  zlib source distribution, exclusively.
+
+- If the project produces redistributable builds (e.g. shared objects
+  or DLL files), these builds must be compatible to those produced by
+  makefiles, if such makefiles exist in the zlib distribution.
+  In particular, if the project produces a DLL build for the Win32
+  platform, this build must comply to the officially-ammended Win32 DLL
+  Application Binary Interface (ABI), described in win32/DLL_FAQ.txt.
+
+- The project may provide additional build targets, which depend on
+  3rd-party (unofficially-supported) software, present in the contrib
+  directory.  For example, it is possible to provide an "ASM build",
+  besides the officially-supported build, and have ASM source files
+  among its dependencies.
+
+- If there are significant differences between the project files created
+  by different versions of an IDE (e.g. Visual C++ 6.0 vs. 7.0), the name
+  of the project directory should contain the version number of the IDE
+  for which the project is intended (e.g. "visualc6" for Visual C++ 6.0,
+  or "visualc7" for Visual C++ 7.0 and 7.1).
