+X15 is unstable. You should expect it to not work. You should expect it to have
+security problems. The API will likely change. This is the development release.
+A proper release will be made in due time.
+
+Some of the files that are included in the X15 tarball, such as files generated
+by autotools, are not stored in the repository. Therefore, to build X15 you
+need to run "autoreconf" before of anything else:
+
+ $ autoreconf -i
+ $ ./configure
+ ...
+
+This will generate all directories and files needed by the build system. For
+instructions about the build system, check the INSTALL file.
