+Compling for Windows.
+-----------------------------------
+For Version V0.5.0+ we are switching to GPGme libraries.
+
+You will need:
+ * Qt4.5 Development Libraries (from TrollTech)
+ * MinGw/MinSys full installation (from sourceforge.net)
+ * OpenSSL standard libraries.
+ * GPG Windows Install (includes gpg.exe)
+ * MiniUpnp library
+ * gpgme Library.
+
+
+1) First install the MinGW/Msys package from.
+
+2) Install Qt4.5, when it asks for MinGW, 
+  point it at the package installed in step 1).
+
+3) Compile OpenSSL using MinGW.
+
+4) Compile MiniUPnP.
+
+5) Compile gpg-error
+
+6) Compile gpgme
+
+7) Compile libretroshare
+
+8) Compile GUI.
+
+
+I will flesh out these instructions with time.
+drBob.
