+INSTRUCTIONS
+============
+An automated version is planned for later, but currently you'll just have to follow these instructions. Oh, and it won't do the last half dozen steps automatically.
+
+(0. Compile Inkscape)
+1. Copy everything from the "inkscape" build directory, EXCEPT for inkscape.dbg and gdb.exe, into ./App/Inkscape
+2. Update the version number in the "Version" section of ./App/AppInfo/appinfo.ini
+4. Run the PortableApps.com AppCompactor on ./App/Inkscape
+3. Run the PortableApps.com Launcher on this directory
+5. Run the PortableApps.com Installer on this directory
+
+6. InkscapePortable_X.XX.paf.exe will now be in packaging/win32, ready for release
+7. Test it (the installer and the installed)
+8. Send it to John T. Haller of PortableApps.com for digital signature
+9. Probably wait a few days...
+10. Receive it back, signed
+11. Test it again, just to make sure
+12. Release it!
