 To compile libusb 1.0 using either Microsoft Visual Studio or the Windows DDK
 
-Note 1: For Visual Studio, 3 sets of solution files are provided depending on 
-whether you are running MSVC6, Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) or Visual Studio 2005 
-(MSVC8). For the DDK, just run ddk_build.cmd from a DDK build environment 
-command prompt.
-
-Note 2: In the text below, (Win32) means "when producing 32 bit binaries" and
-(x64) "when producing 64 bit binaries". This is independent of whether your 
-platform is actually 32 or 64 bit.
-
-- Download the pthread.h and sched.h headers from 
-  ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/include/
-  into the msvc directory.
-
-- (Win32) download pthreadVC2.lib from:
-  ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/lib/ 
-  into the msvc directory.
+- If needed, edit msvc/config.h according to your needs (you might want to
+  comment out ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING for instance).
 
-- To run the 32 bit executables, download pthreadVC2.dll from the same link 
-  either into your executable destination or copy it into C:\Window\System32
-  (for 32 bit systems) or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (for 64 bit systems - yes, this
-  is not a typo: 32 bit DLLs must go to SysWOW64 on 64 bit systems).
+That's it! You should now be able to compile the solution.
 
-- (x64) Follow the "Direct access to the CVS code repository" details on
-  http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ and create both a pthreadVC2_x64.lib
-  and pthreadVC2_x64.dll from the latest pthread-win32 source.
-  
-  To help compiling pthreadVC2_x64.dll on x64 platforms, sample .sln and 
-  .vcproj files are provided in the msvc\pthread-win32_x64\ directory.
-  
-- (x64) Copy pthreadVC2_x64.lib to the msvc directory.
 
-- To run the 64 bit executables, you need to either have pthreadVC2_x64.dll
-  in your executable directory or in C:\Windows\System32 (again, not a typo).
-  
-Alternativaly, precompiled pthread-win32 binaries for 64bit and 32 bit
-platforms, as well as the necessary headers can be obtained frome:
-http://libusb.org/raw-attachment/wiki/windows_backend/pthread-win32_libusb.zip
-
-- Edit config_msvc.h according to your needs (you might want to comment out
-  ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING).
-

-Note that if the the compilation process complains about missing libraries,
-you will need to ensure that the default library paths for your project point
-to a directory that contains setupapi.lib and ole32.lib.
