-Building the library with MSVC from source
-------------------------------------------
-
-A simple makefile for building the library with MSVC is available. Just
-run nmake in a command shell in the pthreads source directory for targets
-to make either the VSE or VCE version of the library. Eg:
-
-	cd <PTHREADS_ROOT>\pthreads
-	nmake clean VSE
-or
-	nmake clean VCE
-
-There are currently no nmake targets to make statically linked
-versions of the library.
-
-Building the library with MinGW32 from source
----------------------------------------------
-
-Run make in the pthreads source directory. Ie:
-
-	cd <PTHREADS_ROOT>\pthreads
-	make clean
-	make
-
-The GNU make utility will find the GNUmakefile in the pthreads source
-directory.

 This library is based substantially on a Win32 pthreads
 implementation contributed by John Bossom <John.Bossom@cognos.com>.
       
-The implementation of condition variables is derived from the work
-of Douglas Schmidt et al
-(http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/win32-cv-1.html).
+The implementation of Condition Variables uses algorithms developed
+by Alexander Terekhov and Louis Thomas.
+
+The implementation of POSIX mutexes has been improved by Thomas Pfaff.
+
+The implementation of read/write locks was contributed by
+Aurelio Medina and improved by Alexander Terekhov.

+Many others have contributed significant time and effort to solve critical
+problems in order to make the library workable, robust and reliable.
 
 There is also a separate CONTRIBUTORS file. This file and others are
