-libcpuid
-========
-
-libcpuid provides CPU identification for the x86 (and x86_64).
-For details about the programming API, please see the docs
-on the project's site (http://libcpuid.sourceforge.net/)
-
-Configuring after checkout
---------------------------
-
-Under linux, where you download the sources, there's no
-configure script to run. This is because it isn't a good practice to keep
-such scripts in a source control system. To create it, you need to run the
-following commands once, after you checkout the libcpuid sources
-from github:
-
-        1. run "libtoolize"
-        2. run "autoreconf --install"
-
-You need to have `autoconf`, `automake` and `libtool` installed.
-
-After that you can run `./configure` and `make` - this will build
-the library.
-
-`make dist` will create a tarball (with "configure" inside) with the
-sources.
-
-Users
------
-
-So far, I'm aware of the following projects which utilize libcpuid:
-
-* CPU-X (https://github.com/X0rg/CPU-X)
-* fre:ac (https://www.freac.org/)
-
-We'd love to hear from you if you are also using libcpuid and want your project listed above.
