+State on windows
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Does not work yet. This file documents how far we got. The situation
+is constantly improving.
+
+1. Cross compilation from Linux to win32
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+(developers may need this, if you are an user, skip to 2.)
+
+TODO: deps with mpk
+
+Use mingw and wine:
+
+	./configure --emu="wine cmd /c" --target=i586-mingw32msvc "$@"
+
+(Replace i586- with whatever toolchain prefix you have)
+
+2. download the binary pack
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Temporary URL: http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/pcb-rnd-pack.zip
+
+Download, unpack, run setup.bat then pcb-rnd.bat
+
+All binaries in the pack are cross-compiled from source, using mingw and
+mpk. All binaries are 32-bit. The pack is self-contained, no gtk or other
+external dependencies.
+
+Known bugs:
+	- inserting elements fail (even static ones)
+	- no shell and awk in the pack -> parametric footprints fail
+	- text (including menu text) doesn't appear on XP
+	- no exporters that depend on libgd (png, jpeg, gif, nelma)
+
+Worked on systems:
+	- Windows 8.1 pro, Hungarian, 32 bit
+	- Windows 7 pro, Hungarian, 64 bit
+	- Windows 7 pro, English, 64 bit
