+KWIML - The Kitware Information Macro Library
+
+KWIML provides header files that use preprocessor tests to detect and
+provide information about the compiler and its target architecture.  The
+headers contain no configuration-time test results and thus may be
+installed into an architecture-independent include directory.  This
+makes them suitable for use in the public interface of any package.
+
+This source tree is intended for distribution inside the source trees of
+other packages.  In order to avoid name collisions among multiple
+packages the KWIML headers are configured with a per-package prefix on
+both the header locations and the macros they define.  See comments in
+CMakeLists.txt for instructions to include KWIML inside another project.
+
+The entire KWIML source tree is distributed under the OSI-approved
+3-clause BSD License.  Files used only for build and test purposes
+contain a copyright notice and reference Copyright.txt for details.
+Headers meant for installation and distribution outside the source tree
+come with full inlined copies of the copyright notice and license text.
+This makes them suitable for distribution with any package under
+compatible license terms.
+
+The following components are provided.  See header comments for details:
+
+  ABI.h = Fundamental type size and representation
+  INT.h = Fixed-size integer types and format specifiers
+
+The "test" subdirectory builds tests that verify correctness of the
+information provided by each header.
