 Cap'n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based

+and use it, you will first need to install the Cap'n Proto compiler, capnpc,
+which comes in a separate package.

+Full installation and usage instructions and other documentation are maintained

   http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html
+
+To build and install (from a release package), simply do:
+  ./configure
+  make -j4 check
+  sudo make install
+
+The -j4 allows the build to use up to four processor cores instead of one.
+You can increase this number if you have more cores.  Specifying "check"
+says to run tests in addition to building.  This can be omitted to make the
+build slightly faster, but running tests and reporting failures back to the
+developers helps us out!

+Cap'n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based
+RPC system.  Think JSON, except binary.  Or think of Google's Protocol Buffers
+(http://protobuf.googlecode.com), except faster.  In fact, in benchmarks,
+Cap'n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers.
+
+This package is the executable tool which parses Cap'n Proto schema definitions
+and generates corresponding source code in various target languages.  To be
+useful, you will also need to obtain a runtime library for your target
+language.  These are distributed separately.
