+This is a fork from the original repository found on sourceforge. This
+fork exist for three reason, the first is I strongly prefere git than 
+mercurial (this is a personal preference) and second I want to make it
+work on Mac OS X but the OSX clang/gcc does not really like the K&R
+syntax, so I take into the process of ANSIfy it. The third reason is why
+I want to use the ACK, it support old CPU, like the 6502 or i8080, i8086
+and it is open source unlike a lot of compiler we can found nowadays for
+such targets, and it support more than C that is a wonderfull bonus!
+
+I have plan to add targets like the NES, add support for the 65c816 and
+add the SNES target, add the WonderSwan as a target and so on. I see in
+this compiler kit a wonderfull project for all sort of old computer that
+are still used nowadays and used CPU that are no longuer targeted by
+modern compilers.
+
+I plan to push my changes on the original version, at least for the new
+targets and cpu.
