-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.01 (beta 4),
+  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 9,
+
+you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of 
+the wxWindows GUI library. This is a developers release
+and is it not suited for production development. Beware
+that major changes can happen before a final release.
+
+Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
+new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
+various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
+to write any more makefiles.
