+Building GStreamer on Windows
+-----------------------------
+
+Running GStreamer on Windows is currently experimental, but improving.
+
+Building on MingW/MSys
+----------------------
+Should work out of the box from the toplevel directory using the standard
+Unix build system provided.
+
+This build type is fairly well supported.
+
+Building with Visual Studio 6
+-----------------------------
+The directory vs6/ contains the workspaces needed to build GStreamer from
+Visual Studio.
+
+This build type is fairly well supported.
+
+Building with Visual Studio 7
+-----------------------------
+vs7/ contains the files needed, but they haven't been updated since the
+0.8 series.
+
+This build is currently unsupported.
+
+The common/ directory contains support files that can be shared between
+these two versions of Visual Studio.
