-If you are reading this file then you must have downloaded dlib via the 
-mercurial repository.  If you are new to dlib then go read the introduction
-and how to compile pages at http://dlib.net/intro.html and http://dlib.net/compile.html.
-If you are planning on contributing code then also read the contribution
-instructions at http://dlib.net/howto_contribute.html.
+See http://dlib.net for the main project documentation.

 COMPILING DLIB EXAMPLE PROGRAMS
    Go into the examples folder and type:
    mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. ; cmake --build .
 
-   That will build all the examples.  Note that there is nothing to install
-   when using dlib.  It's just a folder of source files.  Sometimes people
-   tell me dlib should be compiled and installed as some kind of shared
-   library, however, they are wrong. Please read this http://dlib.net/howto_contribute.html#9 
-   before starting this argument again.

 RUNNING THE UNIT TEST SUITE
-   Type the following to compile and run the dlib unit test suite (it takes a while):
-   cd dlib/test; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; cmake --build . --config Release; ./test --runall
-
-   Note that on windows your compiler might put the test executable in a subfolder called
-   Release.  If that's the case then you have to go to that folder before running the test.

 DOCUMENTATION
-   The mercurial repository doesn't contain finished documentation.  The stuff in
-   the docs folder is just a bunch of scripts and xml files used to generate the 
-   documentation.  There is a readme in docs/README.txt which discusses how to do
-   this.  However, unless you are trying to modify the documentation, you should
-   just download a copy from http://dlib.net.  That would probably be easier than
-   setting up your environment to generate the documentation yourself.
