 i-scream Server README
 ======================
 
+ANT build vs Make build
+-----------------------
+
+** We have revamped the Makefile, but not the ANT build **
+** So please use the Makefile for now **
+
+There are now two methods of compiling the server distribution. The existing
+Makefile method is still supported, but is of course limited in the OS's on
+which it can be run. The preffered method will be an XML based build script
+using ANT (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) which will run on any platform.
+However, at this stage the ANT scripts are not completely finished and may
+have some odd behaviour.
+
+We envisage both the Makefile and ANT setups being maintained for some time,
+giving the developer a choice. This document still outlines the Makefile
+method of compiling, and will do so until such a point as the ANT scripts
+are deemed reliable. If, however, you wish to give the ant script a whirl,
+try the following after setting up ANT (see the ANT website for details);
