-I intend to use this same library in other programs at some future
-date. It is therefore a _strong_ design goal that this library
-should remain perfectly general, and not tied to particulars of
-PuTTY. It must not reference any code outside its own subdirectory;
-it should not have PuTTY-specific helper routines added to it unless
-they can be documented in a general manner which might make them
-useful in other circumstances as well.
+This is a variant of a library that's currently used in some other
+programs such as Timber and Halibut. At some future date, we would
+like to merge the two libraries, so that all programs use the same
+libcharset.
