+
+These tools are currently only meant as supplement to be able to use
+distutils's sdist_tar, sdist_bztar and sdist_gztar on Windows/Wine.
+Thus they currently only support the flags required by distutils.
+
+But perhaps this will grow. Feel free to enhance. 
+
+For more information please refer to the manpage or visit
+the `project homepage <http://python-unixtools.origo.ethz.ch/>`_.
+
+
+Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``python-unixtools`` requires
+
+* Python 2.3 (tested with 2.5, but other versions should work, too),
+* setuptools for installation (see below).
+
+
+Installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Installation Requirements
+----------------------------
+
+``python-unixtools`` uses setuptools for installation. Thus you need
+either
+
+* network access, so the install script will automatically download
+  and install setuptools if they are not already installed
+
+or
+
+* the correct version of setuptools preinstalled using the
+  `EasyInstall installation instructions
+  <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions>`_.
+  Those instructions also have tips for dealing with firewalls as well
+  as how to manually download and install setuptools.
+
+
+Installation 
+-------------------------
+
+Install ``python-unixtools`` by just running::
+
+   python ./setup.py install
+
+
+
+Custom Installation Locations
+------------------------------
+
+For installing to a custom location, use:
+
+   # install to /usr/local/bin
+   python ./setup.py install --prefix /usr/local
+
+   # install to your Home directory (~/bin)
+   python ./setup.py install --home ~
+
+
+For more information about Custom Installation Locations please refer
+to the `Custom Installation Locations Instructions
+<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#custom-installation-locations>`_.
+before installing ``python-unixtools``.
