+generally sufficient to download just the source qpdf-<version>.tar.gz
+file.
+
+For Windows, there are several additional files that you might want to
+download.
+
+ * qpdf-<version>-bin-mingw32.zip
+
+ If you just want to use the qpdf command line program or use the
+ qpdf DLL's C-language interface, you can download this file. You
+ can also download this version if you are using MINGW's gcc 4.6 (or
+ a binary compatible version) and want to program using the C++
+ interface.
+
+ * qpdf-<version>-bin-mingw64.zip
+
+ A 64-bit version built with mingw. Use this for 64-bit Windows
+ systems. The 32-bit version will also work on Windows 64-bit.
+ Both the 32-bit and the 64-bit version support files over 2 GB in
+ size, but you may find it easier to integrate this with your own
+ software if you use the 64-bit version.
+
+ * qpdf-<version>-bin-msvc32.zip
+
+ If you want to program using qpdf's C++ interface and you are using
+ Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 in 32-bit mode, you can download this
+ file.
+
+ * qpdf-<version>-bin-msvc64.zip
+
+ If you want to program using qpdf's C++ interface and you are using
+ Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 in 64-bit mode, you can download this
+ file.
+
+ * qpdf-external-libs-bin.zip
+
+ If you want to build qpdf for Windows yourself with either MINGW or
+ MSVC 2010, you can download this file and extract it inside the
+ qpdf source distribution. Please refer to README-windows.txt in
+ the qpdf source distribution for additional details. Note that you
+ need the 2012-06-20 version or later to be able to build qpdf 3.0
+ or newer. The 2009-10-24 version is required for qpdf 2.3.1 or
+ older.
+
+ * qpdf-external-libs-src.zip
+
+ If you want to build the external libraries on your own (for
+ Windows or anything else), you can download this archive. In
+ addition to including an unmodified distribution zlib and the jpeg
+ libary, it includes a README file and some scripts to help you
+ build it for Windows. qpdf was built using a binary distribution of
+ libjpeg-turbo for Windows. You will also have to provide those. See
+ README-windows.txt for details.
+
+If you want to build on Windows, please see also README-windows.txt.
