+SMOKE stands for "Scripting Meta Object Kompiler Engine" - for instance ;)
+
+This directory compiles a smokeqt (and later a smokekde) library, which
+contain interfaces to (almost) all Qt and KDE classes.
+The next PerlQt/PerlKDE will be based on SMOKE.
+However SMOKE is language-independent enough for other bindings (e.g. to
+other scripting languages) to be based on it.
+
+Note that the .cpp source files are auto-generated by kalyptus, from reading
+the Qt/KDE headers.
+
+
+Regenerating
+============
+
+For SmokeQt:
+ cd qt
+ ./qtguess.pl
+ ./generate.pl
+ make
+
