-The --inplace flag allows wx-config to be used from the wxWindows
-build directory and output flags to use the uninstalled version of
-the headers and libs in the build directory. (Currently configure
-must be invoked via a full path name for this to work correctly.)
+Ordinarily it should be installed to the appropriate system location
+along with the headers and library files, but it is also possible to
+use it to enable builds with an uninstalled wxWindows version for
+package building and bleeding edge developers. To do so, use it like
+this:
+
+\${wx_builddir}/wx-config --prefix=\${wx_srcdir} --exec-prefix=\${wx_builddir}
+
+Note that any other options supplied must come *after* the prefix
+specification for it to take effect.
