 External Libraries
 ==================
 
-In order to build qpdf, you must have copies of zlib and pcre.  The
-easy way to get them is to download them from the qpdf download area.
-There are packages called external-libs-bin.zip and
-external-libs-src.zip.  If you are building with MSVC 2010 or MINGW,
-you can just extract the qpdf-external-libs-bin.zip zip file into the
-top-level qpdf source tree.  Note that you need the 2012-06-20 version
-(at least) to build qpdf 3.0 or greater since this includes 64-bit
-libraries.  It will create a directory called external-libs which
-contains header files and precompiled libraries.  Passing
---enable-external-libs to ./configure (which is done automatically if
-you follow the instructions below) is sufficient to find them.
-
-You can also obtain pcre and zlib directly on your own and install
-them.  If you are using mingw, you can just set CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and
-LIBS when you run ./configure so that it can find the header files and
-libraries.  If you are building with msvc and you want to do this, it
-probably won't work because ./configure doesn't know how to interpret
-LDFLAGS and LIBS properly for MSVC (though qpdf's own build system
-does).  In this case, you can probably get away with cheating by
-passing --enable-external-libs to ./configure and then just editing
-CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LIBS in the generated autoconf.mk file.  Note that
-you should use UNIX-like syntax (-I, -L, -l) even though this is not
-what cl takes on the command line.  qpdf's build rules will fix it.

 You can also download qpdf-external-libs-src.zip and follow the
 instructions in the README.txt there for how to build external libs.
