+Welcome to serf, a high-performance asynchronous HTTP client library.
+
+The serf library is a C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache
+Portable Runtime (APR) library. It multiplexes connections, running the
+read/write communication asynchronously. Memory copies and transformations are
+kept to a minimum to provide high performance operation.

+Quick guide for the impatient
+
+  (Unix)
+  % ./configure
+  % make
+  % make install
+
+----
+
+Building serf from a Subversion checkout (non-packaged releases)
+
+We suggest that you try out 'serfmake'.
+
+ % ./serfmake --prefix=/usr/local/serf --with-apr=/usr/local/apr install
+
+If you want to use the autoconf build system and are using a Subversion
+checkout, you need to run buildconf and have APR and APR-util sources handy.
+
+ % ./buildconf --with-apr=/path/to/apr --with-apr-util=/path/to/apr-util
+ (By default, buildconf will look in . and ../ for apr and apr-util.)
+
+Then, you can use ./configure, make, etc.
