 A makefile is included for you to compile Crypto++ with GCC. Make sure
 you are using GNU Make and GNU ld. The make process will produce two files,
 libcryptopp.a and cryptest.exe. Run "cryptest.exe v" for the validation
 suite.
 
-Crypto++ is documented mostly through comments in header files.  If you are

-text (such as Bruce Schneier's _Applied Cryptography_) before attempting
-to use this library.  Then, you should start by looking at
