1. Dependencies

	Mandatory libraries:

		* GLib (version 2.4.0 or superior)

	Optional libraries:

		* for the generic module:

		* for the talkfilters module:

		  http://www.dystance.net/software/talkfilters/

2. Instructions

	libtranslate uses the well-known GNU build system. Hence, the
	following usual sequence will probably satisfy most users:

		$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
		$ make
		<get root privileges, if needed>
		$ make install

	The ./configure script options are documented below. They are
	enabled by default and automatically disabled if a requirement
	is not met, so you probably do not need to use them.

3. Configure options

		Requirements:
			libsoup version 2.2.0 or superior
			libxml2 version 2.0 or superior.

	--enable-talkfilters (default: yes)
