+This .zip archive contains DLL libraries and the associated header (.h)
+and module-definition (.def) files of NLopt compiled for Win32.
+
+In order to link to this .dll files from Visual C++, you need to
+create a .lib "import libraries" for it, and can do so with the "lib"
+command that comes with VC++. In particular, run:
+ lib /def:libnlopt-0.def
+
+To compile the Matlab plugin, use the Matlab "mex" compiler on the file
+nlopt_minimize_constrained.c (being sure to link to the libnlopt DLL).
+
+They were compiled by the GNU C compiler for MinGW, specifically:
