+This directory shows how you can build redistributable binaries. On
+OSX this menans building an app bundle and a .dmg installer. On Linux
+it means building an archive that bundles its dependencies. On Windows
+it means building an .exe installer.
+
+To build each package you run the corresponding build_ARCH.sh build
+script.
+
+On Linux you must build the package on the oldest distribution you
+plan to support (Debian stable/oldstable and old CentOS are the common
+choice here).
