-To build Wget with VC++ 5.0 run configure.bat in the wget directory,
-and then run nmake.  If you want to build the help file you will need
-a copy of makinfo to convert wget.texi to rtf. I've made a copy
-available at <URL:ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/makeinfo.zip>.  This
-copy of makeinfo is from the miktxt 1.10 archive available from ctan.

-To configure Wget with VC++ with ssl support first get openssl,
-compile it and install relevant headers and libraries where your
-compiler can find them; then uncomment the SSL related lines in
-windows\Makefile.src; then follow the normal instructions
-(configure.bat and so on).
+To build Wget with VC++ run configure.bat (in the main wget directory), 
+and then run nmake. At a certain point in time wget exposed some 
+compiler bugs in VC++ 5.0; VC++ 6.0 sp 5 is known to be safe. However 
+read the rest of this document before continuing.
+
+For VC++ the current default is to configure wget with ssl support; 
+first get openssl (http://www.openssl.org), compile it and install 
+relevant headers and libraries where your compiler can find them; 
+currently this could mean (presuming default installation directories) 
+copy (from the compiled openssl dirctory) the whole inc32/openssl 
+directory and its contents to 
+"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\openssl",
+and from out32dll (in the openssl directory) the two needed libraries 
+(libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib) to 
+"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib".
+These locations aren't exactly the best but will get you started if you 
+don't know where to place these headers and libraries.

 Usually at runtime some openssl libraries (currently ssleay32.dll and
 libeay32.dll) will need to be available in your environment PATH.

+If you want to build the help file you will need a copy of makeinfo to
+convert wget.texi to rtf and html. I've made a copy available at
+<URL:ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/makeinfo.zip>.  This copy of
+makeinfo is from the miktxt 1.10 archive available from ctan. You also
+will need perl 5, one possibility is Activeperl (currently free) from
+<URL:http://www.activestate.com>; you need to locate the download and
+install instructions for the current version available (since the
+packages and installation instructions change from time to time).
+
+If you don't want/can't to compile wget with openssl comment the SSL 
+related lines in windows\Makefile.src; then follow the normal 
+instructions (configure.bat and so on).
