+About Meld
+==========
+
+Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers. Meld helps you
+compare files, directories, and version controlled projects. It provides
+two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and supports
+many version control systems including Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and Subversion.
+
+Meld helps you review code changes, understand patches, and makes enormous
+merge conflicts slightly less painful.
+
+Meld is licensed under the GPL v2 or later.
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* GTK+ 3.6
+* GLib 2.34
+* PyGObject 3.8
+* GtkSourceView 3.6
+
+
+Running
+-------
+
+Meld can be run directly from this directory. Just type:
+
+ * `bin/meld`
+
+Alternatively, you can install Meld system-wide by running:
+
+ * `python setup.py install`
+
+...but you should probably just get a RPM/deb/installer instead, depending on
+your system. Meld packages are available for just about every *nix
+distribution, and can be installed on OSX using MacPorts/Fink/etc. See the wiki
+for options for getting Meld working on Windows.
