+First, this is a development release only! Unless you are interested in
+active development and debugging, or just like running random alpha code,
+this release is probably not for you.

 Before installing, note that only Japhar 0.07 or later is supported.
-Currently only Japhar 0.06 is in distribution which means you will need
-the latest and greatest Japhar from CVS in order for Classpath to
-work.  (This will only be needed until the next Japhar development
-release).  If you don't have the current Japhar from CVS, Classpath
-won't work.  See http://www.japhar.org/ for details on anonymous CVS
-access to the Japhar sources.
+You will need to download that from http://www.japhar.org/ in order to
+use GNU Classpath.  Note that Classpath also requires that Japhar be
+configured with the Foreign Function Interface library.  So make sure
+you specify --enable-libffi when running the Japhar configure script.
 
 This package was designed to use the GNU standard for configuration
 and makefiles.  To build and install do the following:

 package is built.  "configure --help" will give a complete list.  Of
 relevance, a target JVM must be specified.  Currently only Japhar is
 supported, and the option for that is --with-japhar.  (This option is

 being the superuser.
