-About
-=====
-
-A library to communicate with services of Apple iOS devices using native
-protocols.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-Development Packages of:
-	OpenSSL or GnuTLS
-	libplist
-	libusbmuxd
-
-Software:
-	usbmuxd
-	make
-	autoheader
-	automake
-	autoconf
-	libtool
-	pkg-config
-	gcc or clang
-
-Optional:
-	cython (Python bindings)
-	doxygen (Documentation)
-
-Installation
-============
-
-To compile run:
-	./autogen.sh
-	make
-	sudo make install
-
-If you require a custom prefix or other option being passed to ./configure
-you can pass them directly to ./autogen.sh like this:
-        ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/local --enable-debug-code
-        make
-        sudo make install
-
-By default, OpenSSL will be used. If you prefer GnuTLS, configure with
- --disable-openssl like this:
-	./autogen.sh --disable-openssl
