+- Introduction
+
+This module provides ruby bindings for librrd, with functionality
+comparable to the native perl bindings. See test.rb for a script that
+exercises all ruby-librrd functionality.
+
+- Installation
+
+Installation is standard. Simply run:
+
+ruby extconf.rb
+make
+make install
+
+I hope this works for you. Please let me know if you have any
+problems or suggestions. Someday when I'm feeling less lazy I'll
+actually document this thing. Thanks to Tobi for rrdtool!
