+Generating the libmusicbrainz5 Visual Studio solution using CMake GUI
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+1. Download [Neon] (http://www.webdav.org/neon/) and extract it.
+2. In Visual Studio command prompt (not regular cmd.exe), navigate to the Neon extract folder and execute: *nmake /f neon.mak*
+3. Point CMake at the libmusicbrainz source. Specify a build location and click Configure. Specify the appropriate generator.
+4. CMake should complain that it cannot find Neon. Set *NEON_INCLUDE_DIR* to *{neon_extract}\src* and *NEON_LIBRARIES* to *{neon_extract}\libneon.lib*
+5. Click Configure again and then Generate. This will have generated a VS solution for you which should build without issue.
