+Notes for 32-bit users:
+
+1. Starting with 1.11, upstream has dropped 32-bit support. On 32-bit
+ systems, this script will build a package of hexinator 1.10. If
+ necessary, you can build older versions (1.08 and 1.09) by setting
+ VERSION in the environment, but you won't be able to build anything
+ newer than 1.10.
+
+2. Automated tools such as sbopkg and sbotools may get confused by the
+ fact that the .info file says VERSION=1.12, but the package version
+ will be 1.10. One result is that sbopkg will probably keep saying
+ there's an upgrade available. If this is a problem for you, simply
+ blacklist hexinator in sbopkg's config.
