+*** NOTE: as of version 1.12, the building of Wget on Windows using
+*** these supplied Makefiles, is severely broken. HOWEVER, it is
+*** currently possible to build Wget on Windows using the standard
+ Unix-y "./configure && make", under MinGW + MSYS, though there are
+ some rough edges when you go beyond the basic build.
+
+ We expect to support this method for building Wget more fully in
+ future releases; the degree to which other Windows build methods
+ will be supported is not currently clear, as the cost of their
+ maintenance has grown significantly.
