   * Very short batch scripts (e.g. wimapply.cmd) which are shortcuts to the
     corresponding wimlib-imagex commands (e.g. `wimlib-imagex apply').
 
+  * The library itself in DLL format (libwim-15.dll).  wimlib-imagex.exe
+    requires this to run.
+
   * The documentation, including this file, the generic README.txt, and
     PDF documentation for wimlib-imagex in the 'doc' directory.
 
-  * The library itself (libwim-15.dll).  The C header wimlib.h is not
-    included; download the source if you want it.
-
   * License files for all software included.  These are all free software
     licenses.  COPYING.txt is the main license, and it refers to
     COPYING.GPLv3.txt and COPYING.LGPLv3.txt.  The other licenses are for
     third-party software included in the library.
 
+  * Development files in the 'devel' directory.  These are only needed if you
+    are developing C or C++ applications that use wimlib.
+
 Note that there are separate ZIP files for 32-bit (i686) and 64-bit (x86_64)
 binaries.  They are both fully supported, but you should prefer the 64-bit
 binaries when possible as they can be noticeably faster.
