-SUMMARY OF HOW TO BUILD
-=======================
+WHY USE THIS PACKAGE?
+=====================
+
+The canonical make system for SQLite requires TCL as part of the build
+process.  Various TCL scripts are used to generate parts of the code and
+TCL is used to run tests.  But some people would prefer to build SQLite
+using only generic tools and without having to install TCL.  The purpose
+of this package is to provide that capability.
+
+This package contains a pre-build SQLite amalgamation file "sqlite3.c"
+(and its associated header file "sqlite3.h").  Because the amalgamation
+has been pre-built, no TCL is required.
+
+REASONS TO USE THE CANONICAL BUILD SYSTEM RATHER THAN THIS PACKAGE
+==================================================================
+
+ * the cononical build system allows you to run tests to verify that
+   the build worked
+ * the canonical build system supports more compile-time options
+ * the canonical build system works for any arbitrary check-in to
+   the SQLite source tree
+
+Step-by-step instructions on how to build using the canonical make
+system for SQLite can be found at:
