-The goal of the IceCat project is to provide a completely free version
-of the popular mozilla source code. It is part of Gnuzilla, the
-umbrella project analogous to Mozilla. The base Mozilla code is free
-but it supports and suggests using non-free plugins and other modules.
-GNU IceCat is completely free, and suggests only free plugins to
-users. If you aren't aware of the rationale and goals of the Free
-Software Movement, please take a look at this page:
-http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/

-To report problems, request changes, or other discussion, please use the
-public mailing list bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org. This is an open list, feel

-BUILD FROM TARBALL
-==================
-From the released IceCat source tarball, you can build it by running:
-
-# replace objdir with whatever path you want
- mkdir objdir
- cd objdir
-# replace srcdir with the path where you unpacked the source tarball
- srcdir/configure --with-l10n-base=srcdir/l10n
- make
-
-Be sure you have installed the needed libraries. If you want to tune
-the configuration process you can change the default setup using the
-file .mozconfig.
-
-The default configuration of IceCat uses the following libraries:
-libpango libpangoxft libpangoft2 libfreetype libxft libgtk2 libx11
-
-Refer to your distro help as needed if the configure script fails to
-find them.
-
-To build a langpack:
-
- cd objdir/browser/locales
- make langpack-$LANG LOCALE_MERGEDIR=.
-
-The xpi file is created at tempBuildDir/dist/linux-x86_64/xpi
-
-INSTALL
-=======
-When you have it built you can install it with:
-
- make install
-
-If you want to install in a staging directory, you can do this:
-
- make install DESTDIR=/foo/bar
-
-Or if you want to package the results, you can run
-
- cd objdir/browser/installer
- make
-
-This generates a binary tarball at objdir/dist
-
-LICENSING
-=========
-Because we hope and want our privacy enhancements to be picked up by
-Mozilla itself, we are keeping the same tri-licensing scheme for
-Gnuzilla/IceCat as Mozilla uses: MPL/GPL/LGPL.
