	Those are a few things about this project that you should know.

	I surely welcome patches to support both in a better way.

	libnozzle is a simple commodity library currently used by
	corosync, to manage tun/tap devices.

	libknet is the core of this project. It is considered stable
	and supported in the stable* branches and still under
	heavy development in master branch. Upstream does guarantee
	onwire and update compatibility between releases in the same
	major versions (aka 1.x will always be able to talk to 1.x+n).
	There is NO guarantee of onwire compatibility
	between major versions of knet (aka: 1.x might not be able to talk
	to 2.x).

	libknet has a lot of build dependencies due to its modular
	implementation. It does not, however, link with all those libraries
	but uses a dlopen model to save runtime resources and provide
	flexibility to users to install only the libraries they are
	planning to use. Make sure that you do build with all feature
	enabled (compatible with your distribution licencing/patent
	policy of course) and tune your packaging to Recommend/Suggest
	the external libraries.

	Thanks
	Your upstream maintainers
