+Installation
+------------
+The MS-Windows version of ln implements soft links as MS-Windows
+shortcuts. If necessary, it adds the extension .lnk
+Hard links are implemented as copies on MS-Windows-95 / 98 / ME,
+and as hard linls on MS-Windows-NT / 2000 / XP.

+Sources

+- coreutils-5.3.0-src.zip
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+The package has been compiled with GNU auto-tools, GNU make, and Mingw
+(GCC for MS-Windows). Any differences from the original sources are given
+in coreutils-5.3.0-GnuWin32.diffs in coreutils-5.3.0-src.zip. Libraries needed
+for compilation can be found at the lines starting with 'LIBS = ' in the
+Makefiles. Usually, these are standard libraries provided with Mingw, or
+libraries from the package itself; 'gw32c' refers to the libgw32c package,
+which provides MS-Windows substitutes or stubs for functions normally found in
+Unix. For more information, see: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html
+and http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libgw32c.htm.
