+In the official binary releases from wimlib.net, libwim-15.dll's dependent
+libraries are linked in statically rather than dynamically, so it does not
+depend on any DLLs other than standard Windows DLLs. If you want to do this,
+install the following additional Cygwin packages:
+
+ - p7zip (category "Archiver")
+ - autoconf (category "Devel")
+ - automake (category "Devel")
+ - git (category "Devel")
+ - libtool (category "Devel")
+ - nasm (category "Devel")
+ - pkg-config (category "Devel")
+ - ghostscript (category "Graphics")
+ - wget (category "Web")
+
+Then, in a Cygwin terminal, clone the git repository, checkout the wimlib
+version you want, bootstrap the repository, and run the Windows release script:
+
+ git clone git://wimlib.net/wimlib
+ cd wimlib
+ git checkout v1.10.0
+ ./bootstrap
+ ./tools/make-windows-release x86_64
+
+The release script will download and build libxml2 and winpthreads as static
+libraries, then build wimlib, then do some final tasks and bundle the resulting
+files up into a ZIP archive. If successful you'll end up with a file like
+"wimlib-1.10.0-windows-x86_64-bin.zip", just like the official releases. For
+32-bit binaries just use "i686" instead of "x86_64".
