+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I have built libvirt (the bindings), examples, mlvirsh and
+mlvirtmanager on Windows using the MinGW port of OCaml.  It's quite
+likely that it will also work under VC++, but I have not tested this.
+
+You should make sure that your $PATH (environment variable) contains
+the names of the directories containing all required DLLs, in
+particular you will require:
+
+  libvirt-*.dll                (from libvirt)
+  libgnutls-*.dll      (from GnuTLS)
+  libgcrypt-*.dll
+  libgpg-error-*.dll
+  libtasn1-*.dll
+  libxdr.dll           (from libxdr)
+  libxml2-*.dll                (from libxml2)
+  and, a multitude of DLLs from GTK if you want to run mlvirtmanager
+
+You can use a tool such as Dependency Walker to find/check the
+locations of dependent libraries.
+
+To build the Windows installer, you will need NSIS.  Then do:
+
+  ./configure --with-nsis=/c/Progra~1/NSIS
+  make all opt
+  make wininstaller
+
+This should build a Windows binary installer called
+ocaml-libvirt-$VERSION.exe which includes the bindings, all required
+DLLs and all programs that can be built under Windows.
