-  Welcome to wxWindows for GTK 1.0,
+  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.
+
+More information is available from my homepage at:
+
+  http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
+  
+and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the
+Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found
+at Julian Smart's homepage at:

+  http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin

-This is the beta release which means that we have a feature
-freeze. We'll move up to version 2.0 rather soon and from then
-on there will be no more binary incompatible changes. We might
-add more classes, but none that would alter the behaviour of
-the existing ones. The library produced by the install process
-of the final version will be called libwx_gtk_1_0.a (static)
-and libwx_gtk_1_0.so.2.0.0 (shared) so that once a version
-of wxWindows/Gtk for GTK 1.2 comes out we'll change the name
-of the library to avoid linking problems.
