+
+ROOT vs NON-ROOT
+================
+When running as root, libnfs tries to allocate a system port for its connection
+to the nfs server. When running as non-root it will use a normal
+ephemeral port.
+Many NFS servers default to a mode where they do not allow non-system
+ports from connecting.
+These servers require you use the "insecure" export option in /etc/exports
+in order to allow libnfs clients to be able to connect.
+
+PLATFORM support
+=================
+As of now this is tested with linux, MacOSX and Apple iOS.
+
+Linux: - tested with Ubuntu 10.04 - should work with others aswell
+Cygwin: - tested under 64bit win2k8.
+MacOSX: - tested with SDK 10.4 (under Snow Leopard) - should also work with later SDKs and 64Bit
+iOS: - tested with iOS SDK 4.2 - running on iOS 4.3.x
+FreeBSD:- tested with 8.2
+
+
+Cygwin
+------
+Configure with './configure --enable-tirpc' since cygwin only supports ti-rpc and not classic rpc.
