+
+Please note that it is NOT good to just add this directory to `load-path': a
+number of files in this directory will become part of more recent Emacs
+versions, so that you might be running obsolete libraries with all kinds of ill
+effects (cf. `list-load-path-shadows').
+
+The suggested method for installation is to copy those files that you need to a
+directory which is in `load-path'.
+
+Here is an overview of the files:
+
+compface.el
+
+ Provides the ELisp-based uncompface program. It is excellent and
+ practical (actually you can replace lisp/compface.el with it), however
+ the author is missing and the copyright has not been assigned yet.
+
+gnus-namazu.el
+
+ This file defines the command to search mails and persistent articles
+ with Namazu, which is a full-text search engine distributed at
+ <http://namazu.org>, and to browse its results with Gnus.
+
+gnus-kill-to-score.el
+
+ Convert kill files to score files. See (info "(gnus)Converting Kill
+ Files").
