+       ----
+
+       zlib is an extremely popular compression library. It is used
+       by Xapian, so if you installed that you will already have
+       zlib. You may need to install the zlib headers separately.
+
+       Notmuch needs the transparent write feature of zlib introduced
+       in version 1.2.5.2 (Dec. 2011).

+Building Documentation
+----------------------
+
+By default the documentation for notmuch is built using sphinx.

+Sphinx is available from www.sphinx-doc.org.

+If you prefer, you can build the man pages using rst2man, from the
+python docutils package. See doc/INSTALL for details.
