  What is it?
  -----------
  MoviXMaker-2 is a simple Perl GTK+-2/Gnome2/GladeXML interface to create
  customized eMoviX/MoviX/MoviX ISO files. 
  
  It includes disc image customization possibilities such as :
   - language, keyboard layout, subtitle fontset, boot label 
     selection when available (e.g. eMoviX has those).
   - you can specify [e]MoviX[] parameters such as : 
     loop, random, shut, reboot, eject, dma, extra_mplayer_options and
     unwanted_mplayer_options. 
     
  There are more disc image customization possibilities to come.
   
  MoviXMaker-2 is available under the terms of the GPL.

  You can visit [e]MoviX[] website at : http://movix.sf.net


  How is it done?
  ---------------
  The interface was made using Glade-2, the code is written in Perl with the use
  of GTK+-2, Gnome2 and GladeXML librairies. 
  Take a look at the code, it's easier than you may think!


  Documentation
  -------------
  If you installed MoviXMaker-2 you can either :
  - use the man page, type `man movixmaker-2`.
  - use perldoc if you have it installed, 
	type `perldoc $(which movixmaker-2)`.
  - use info if you have it installed, type `info movixmaker-2`.
  - use the command line help, type `movixmaker-2 --help`.

  From the extracted directory you can either :

  - use perldoc if you have it installed, type `perldoc movixmaker-2.pl`.
  - use the command line help, type `./movixmaker-2.pl --help`.

  
  Requirements
  ------------
  The following and their dependencies :
    mkisofs
    libconfig-inifiles-perl
    gtk2-perl-xs compiled from CVS tree ( http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net )
     * Debian users can get unofficial libgtk2-perl, libgtk2-gladexml-perl and
	libgnome2-perl packages from
      James Curbo :
	deb http://www.raspberryheaven.net/~hannibal/debs unstable/
	deb-src http://www.raspberryheaven.net/~hannibal/debs unstable/
      Szilveszter Farkas :
        deb http://linux.psoftwares.hu/debian/perl ./
	deb-src http://linux.psoftwares.hu/debian/perl ./

  Optionnal dependencies :
    man
    perldoc
    info
    

  Installation
  ------------
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man
  make install # You must be root. If you are not, refer to Usage.


  Configuration
  -------------
  Default settings are stored in 'movixmaker-2.conf', feel free to modify them.


  Usage
  -----
  Those who don't have the permissions to install MoviXMaker-2 can run it from 
  the extracted directory. You need to run `./configure` first, followed by
  `./movixmaker-2.pl`. 

  Those who installed MoviXMaker-2 simply run 'movixmaker-2'.

  Note: For the moment, you need to copy or link the directories and files you
        want on the *MoviX* CD in the src/ directory.

  *** IMPORTANT DVD NEWS ***
  Because of the DeCSS legal problems, *MoviX* cannot read encrypted  DVDs 
  unless *you* add *by your own* the libdvdcss.so library to the distro.

  The libdvdcss library makes use of the DeCSS algorithm, that has been
  declared *illegal* in some country (e.g. USA and Germany), so before adding it
  I suggest you to make sure it is ok to use it in your country. 

  Because of the extremely unclear status of the legal matters about DeCSS I 
  can't even provide a link for those who legitimally can make use of it. 
  Nevertheless all you should do is going in your favorite search engine, look 
  for the package named libdvdcss-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm and copy that package in your
  src/ directory.

  Internationalization
  --------------------
  Needs to be done if this little frontend ever becomes popular.


  Debugging
