+Building volta
+===============
+
+Volta should build with minimal effort.  First, make sure you have
+dependencies installed.
+
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+Currently, volta requires the following to compile:
+
+Regular dependencies:
+
+  - GNU make (http://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
+  - sqlite3 (http://www.sqlite.org/)
+
+Development dependencies (optional):
+
+  - ragel (http://www.complang.org/ragel/)
+  - mercurial (http://mercurial.selenic.com/)
+  - google-perftools (http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/)
+  - graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/)
+  - ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/)
+
+
+Compiling
+---------
+
+Just type 'make'.  Depending on your platform, GNU make may have been
+installed as 'gmake' If you get any errors, try 'gmake' first.
+
+It should build without warnings.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Volta doesn't contain any installation targets.  You can put the binary
+wherever makes sense on your system.  Note that it should be in a
+directory that is writable to Squid, unless you plan to store the
+database separately.  An example:
+
+	mv volta /usr/local/bin
+	mkdir -p /var/db/squid
+	chown squid:squid /var/db/squid
+	volta -f /var/db/squid/volta.db
+
+I usually just drop it into the squid configuration directory and run it
+from there.
+
+For usage information, see the README.
+
+
+Development
+-----------
+
+Volta source can be cloned via Mercurial.  The repo is found at:
+
+	http://code.martini.nu/volta
+
+You can use the 'debug' make target to compile a (very noisy) binary
+that contains gdb symbols and perftool hooks.  Set the CPUPROFILE
+environment variable to "cpu.prof" to generate a profile.
