+This package provides the necessary header files and libraries to
+install NetBSD utilities and libraries on Solaris 2.8, Redhat Linux
+6 and 7, and has been used to get the NetBSD packages collection
+working on Solaris and Linux. It was developed by Christos Zoulas,
+and has been tested on Solaris 2.8, running on Sparc hardware, and
+RedHat Linux 7.0, running on i386 hardware.
+
+To get this package running on Solaris, you'll need to have either
+a recent gcc or egcs installed, and a version of GNU tar available,
+as well as gzip.
+
+After extracting all the files, you need to edit Makefile.inc to set
+the correct paths for ${BSDSRCDIR} (where the NetBSD src tree is
+located), and for ${DESTDIR} (where the binaries and support files
+will be placed).
+
+On Solaris then, make sure that /usr/ccs/bin is in your path,
+and then invoke Solaris' make (/usr/ccs/bin/make).
+
+There is nothing special to do on Linux.
