+;;; DESCRIPTION:
+;;;
+;;; This file uses a "Hellow world!" string which is in an another C
+;;; file called hello_aux.c. Both hello.lisp and hello_aux.c are
+;;; compiled and linked into either
+;;;
+;;;	1) a FASL file (see build_fasl.lisp)
+;;;	2) a shared library (see build_dll.lisp)
+;;;	3) or a standalone executable file. (build_exe.lisp)
+;;;
+;;; USE:
+;;;
+;;; Launch a copy of ECL and load this file in it
+;;;
+;;;	(load "readme.lisp")
