+Notes regarding the code:
+
+The code is a complete rewrite, containing none of the original code.  I've made
+some effort to put the more generic or reusable code into a separate library
+called Moof.  I've also made an effort to incorporate 3rd-party code that
+happened to fit well into what I needed.  So, generally, the source code is
+separated into these three categories:
+
+1. Yoink-specific code.
+
+This is the code directly in src/.  These classes reside in no namespace.
+
+2. Reusable code.
+
+Currently, the code is in src/Moof/, and it is compiled as a convenience
+library.  These classes and other helper functions reside in the Mf namespace.
+Since I wrote this code alongside the Yoink-specific stuff, there is somewhat of
+a blurry line between the two categories.
+
+3. 3rd-party code.
+
+This is made up of free code from other projects or libraries (aside from the
+explicit dependencies above), the licenses of which are also in the COPYING
+file.  This code resides in various namespaces and in various subdirectories.
