* JBigI:

- Replace old non-PIC 62-bit linux libs (GMP 4.1.4 built in 2005)
        with PIC libs built with GMP 5.0.2. License is LGPLv3.
        Built by sponge with GCC 4.4.4, downloaded from
        http://sponge.i2p/files/jbigi/gmp-5.0.2/
        For 64-bit processors, both performance testing and
        the GMP changelog led us to use 5.0.2 for both the 32- and 64-bit versions,
        even though the files are twice as big.
        See http://zzz.i2p/topics/306 for discussion and test results.
        libjbigi-linux-athlon64.so was a 64 bit file; by the new naming standard
        supported by NativeBigInteger, it is now a 32-bit file and the
        64-bit one is libjbigi-linux-athlon64_64.so.
        All new 64-bit libs will have _64 appended.

+Dynamic library build
+=====================
+
 If you have a libgmp.so installed on your system already
 (check in /usr/lib), you can build a dynamically linked libjbigi.so as follows:
 	cd jbigi
 	build.sh dynamic
-The built library is jbigi/lib/libjbigi.so .
+You do, of course, need the gmp headers installed.
+On ubuntu, check for libgmp3 and libgmp3-dev packages.
+This is much easier and faster than building GMP from source.
 	
-Otherwise, prior to building the jbigi library, you will need to fetch the GMP source
-from http://www.swox.com/gmp/, saving it to jbigi/gmp-4.2.2.tar.bz2 (it will
-be unpacked and built as necessary).
 
-Version 4.2.2 has not been extensively tested with I2P. If you would like
+Static library build
-to use a well-tested version, get gmp-4.1.4.tar.bz2, and edit jbigi/build.sh
+=====================
-to change the version number.
+
+Otherwise, the build script build.sh will download the the GMP source,
+unpack and build it. The GMP version and download location are configured
+in jbigi/build.sh, please review it to ensure you download
+and build the desired version.
 
 To build the native jbigi and jcpuid libraries for the current host CPU,
 simply run sh build.sh and the results will be packaged up into jbigi.jar
-and the libjbigi.so library. To test, copy jbigi/lib/libjbigi.so
+and the libjbigi.so library.
-and jcpuid/lib/freenet/support/CPUInformation/libjcpuid-*.so
-to your i2p/ directory. You can also copy jbigi.jar to the i2p/lib/ directory;
-it will be used only if the router fails to load the native library.
 
 To build the native jbigi libraries for all supported CPUs (on the current OS),
 go into jbigi/ and run build-all.sh (the results will be under jbigi/lib/)
 
+
+Installation and testing
+========================
+
+To test, copy jbigi/lib/libjbigi.so
+and jcpuid/lib/freenet/support/CPUInformation/libjcpuid-*.so
+to your i2p installation directory ($I2P). You may also copy jbigi.jar to the $I2P/lib/ directory;
+it will be used only if the router fails to load the native library
+from the I2P installation directory.
+
 The build.sh script runs two speed tests, one with your existing
 I2P installation and one with the new libjbigi.

+================================
+
+Updates May/June 2011:
+  jcpuid:
+   - jcpuid.c updated to be compatible with -fPIC
+   - 32 bit libjcpuid-linux-x86.so updated, compiled with -fPIC.
+   - 64 bit libjcpuid-linux-x86_64.so added, compiled with -fPIC.
+   - See also javadoc and code in CPUID.java
+  jbigi:
+   - k62 and k63 are identical for all except windows; exception added to
+     NativeBigInteger to use k62 for k63. k63 files deleted.
+   - All 32 bit linux files updated with GMP 4.3.2, compiled with -fPIC,
+     except for athlon64 and pentium4, which use GMP 5.0.2.
+   - All 64 bit linux files updated with GMP 5.0.2.
+   - libjbigi-windows-athlon64.dll deleted, it was a duplicate of
+     libjbigi-windows-athlon.dll. NativeBigInteger now uses athlon as
+     a fallback for all 64-bit processors.
+   - Note that all new 64 bit files will use the _64 suffix. For example,
+     the old libjbigi-linux-athlon64.so file was 64 bit; now it is 32 bit
+     and the 64 bit file is libjbigi-linux-athlon64_64.so.
+   - The 4.3.2 files are half the size of the 5.0.2 files, and there was
+     little or no performance difference for 32 bit, so we are using
+     4.3.2 for 32 bit. For 64-bit processors, both performance testing and
+     the GMP changelog led us to use 5.0.2 for both the 32- and 64-bit versions.
