+==[ IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT DISABLING NOSPOOF ]==
+Disabling NOSPOOF at windows (w9x, nt, w2k, xp) is NOT recommended since this
+will allow users to use "spoofed hosts" (like the IP of someone you trust).
+If you got problems with NOSPOOF fix your client (bot?) instead (you should
+PONG back to the initial PING at connect).
+
+==[ HOW TO COMPILE UNREALIRCD WITHOUT SSL AT WINDOWS ]==
+1. You need Microsoft Visual C++
+2. You need the Platform SDK (PSDK)
+   Grab it at: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ ->
+   core sdk -> install this sdk.
+   Note that this can take some time to download because it's >200Mb
+   (450mb installed) [!].
+3. To compile:
+   start -> programs -> platform sdk blabla -> open build env. -> (choose os) ->
+   set blabla build env (debug). This will launch a DOS window, then go to
+   your UnrealIrcd dir (like: cd \dev\unreal3.2) and then compile with:
+   nmake -f makefile.win32
+   This will generate a wircd.exe and unreal.exe
+4. Copy the src\win32\gnu_regex.dll to your UnrealIrcd main dir.
+5. Done!

+==[ HOW TO COMPILE UNREALIRCD WITH SSL AT WINDOWS ]==
+Ouch, that's much work ;).
+You need to compile openssl and have it installed in c:\openssl.
+Then use makefile.win32.ssl instead of makefile.win32.
+And don't ask us for help on how to compile openssl...
