+Instructions for building FOP from source code:
+
+ FOP uses Apache Ant as its build system. You can download Apache Ant
+ from http://ant.apache.org.
+
+ Ant installation instructions:
+ 1. Download and install Ant
+ 2. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the directory where you've
+ placed Ant.
+ 3. Add "%%ANT_HOME%%\bin" to your PATH so the "ant.bat" batch file
+ can be executed from wherever needed.
+ 4. (optional) Download JUnit and place junit-*.jar in %%ANT_HOME%%\lib.
+ This enables the JUnit test cases.
+
+ After Ant is installed, you can build FOP simply by navigating to
+ the FOP base directory and typing "ant".
