+Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed.
+http://martine.github.com/ninja/
+
+See the manual -- http://martine.github.com/ninja/manual.html or
+doc/manual.asciidoc included in the distribution -- for background
+and more details.
+
+To build, run ./bootstrap.py. It first blindly compiles all non-test
+source files together, then re-builds Ninja using itself. You should
+end up with a 'ninja' binary in the source root. Run './ninja -h' for
+help.
+
+There is no installation step. The only file of interest to a user
+is the resulting ninja binary.
+
+If you're interested in making changes to Ninja, read HACKING.md first.
