+build fio. To create an MSI installer package install WiX 3.7 from
+http://wixtoolset.org and run dobuild.cmd from the
 os/windows directory.
 
+How to compile FIO on 64-bit Windows:
+
+ 1. Install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe). Install 'make' and all
+    packages starting with 'mingw64-i686' and 'mingw64-x86_64'.
+ 2. Download ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-9-1-release/dll/x64/pthreadGC2.dll
+    and copy to the fio source directory.
+ 3. Open the Cygwin Terminal.
+ 4. Go to the fio directory (source files).
+ 5. Run 'make clean'.
+ 6. Run 'make'.
+
+To build fio on 32-bit Windows, download x86/pthreadGC2.dll instead and do
+'./configure --build-32bit-win=yes' before 'make'.
+
+It's recommended that once built or installed, fio be run in a Command Prompt
+or other 'native' console such as console2, since there are known to be display
+and signal issues when running it under a Cygwin shell
+(see http://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/detail?id=56 for details).
