+Notes about building JavaScriptCore on Win32:
+
+The build has been tested with Visual Studio 2003 (7.1) and Visual Studio
+2005 Beta 2. It should also work with Microsft's free
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003 (which is basically
+the same compiler & linker that is a part of VS 2003 but without the IDE)
+but it has not been tested.
+
+It doesn't build with VS 6.
+
+To build:
+ * make sure that the tools are in the path. VS comes with vcvars32.bat
+   batch file somewhere under installation directory which sets all the
+   proper env variables. I usually rename it to e.g. vc7.bat and put
+   in my %PATH% for easy invocation)
+ * you need to download ICU (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/index.jsp)
+   pre-built DLLs and header files. I've tested it with VS 7.1
+   (ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/3.4/icu-3.4-Win32-msvc7.1.zip)
+   Set ICUDIR to where you've downloaded the files.
+ * you need perl for generating *.lut.h files
+ * you need bison for generating parser from grammar.y (I use http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm)
+ * nmake -f Makefile.vc clean
+ * nmake -f Makefile.vc
+ or
+ * nmake -f Makefile.vc DEBUG=1
+
+What do you get: in bin subdirectory you'll find testkjs.exe executable
+which is a javascript interpreter. It can be used to run javascript
+tests in tests\mozilla (see \WebKitTools\scripts\run-javascriptcore-tests
+for an example on how to run them; you can use this script if you
+just replace "testkjs" with a full path to testkjs.exe.
+
+TODO
+
+Currently only testkjs.exe is built. It should also build a static
+.lib library so that it's easy to build programs incorporating the core.
+It should also build as a dynamic DLL. It's just a matter of fiddling
+with the makefile.
