+uClibc support
+--------------
+
+Support for uClibc is still work in progress. To get startet with strongSwan
+on uClibc, yoou need version which supports getifaddrs ( > 0.9.28).
+Additionally, you need the at least the following options:
+
+String and Stdio Support --->
+  [*] Support glibc's register_printf_function()
+  [*] Support the '%m' specifier in printf format strings
+General Library Settings --->
+  [*] Support global constructors and destructors
+
+We must reduce the number of printf handlers, as uClibc only supports 10 of
+them. It is fairly untested yet, so don't except to get it running without
+further tweaks.
