+Nuclex.Windows.Forms.Ninject Dependencies
+=========================================
+
+
+To Compile the Library
+----------------------
+
+This project is intended to be placed into a source tree using submodules to replicate
+the following directory layout:
+
+    root/
+        Nuclex.Windows.Forms.Ninject/    <-- you are here
+            ...
+
+        Nuclex.Windows.Forms/            <-- Git: nuclex-shared-dotnet/Nuclex.Windows.Forms
+            ...
+
+        Nuclex.Support.Native/           <-- Git: nuclex-shared-dotnet/Nuclex.Support
+            ...
+
+        third-party/
+            nunit
+            ninject
+            nmock
+
+You should already have that directory layout in place if you cloned the "frame fixer"
+repository (with `--recurse-submodules`).
+
+The actual, direct requirements of the code to compile are:
+
+  * Nuclex.Support
+  * Nuclex.Windows.Forms
+  * ninject
+  * nunit (optional, if unit tests are built)
+  * nmock (optional, if unit tests are built)
+
+
+To Use this Library as a Binary
+-------------------------------
+
+  * Nuclex.Windows.Forms.Ninject.dll
+  * Nuclex.Windows.Forms.dll
+  * Nuclex.Support.dll
+  * Ninject.dll

+     copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+     (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+     **"Derivative Works"** shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+     form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+     editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications

+     the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+     **"Contribution"** shall mean any work of authorship, including
+     the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+     to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally

+
+     **"Contributor"** shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity

+
+  2. _Grant of Copyright License_. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+     this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+     worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+     copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+     publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+     Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+  3. _Grant of Patent License_. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+     this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+     worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+     (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+     use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+     where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+     by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+     Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+     with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+     institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+     cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+     or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+     or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+     granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+     as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+  4. _Redistribution_. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+     Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+     modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+     meet the following conditions:
+
+     - **(a)** You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+     - **(b)** You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+     - **(c)** You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+     - **(d)** If the Work includes a **"Notice.md"** text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such **Notice.md** file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+     You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+     may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+     for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+     for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+     reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+     the conditions stated in this License.
+
+  5. _Submission of Contributions_. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+     any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+     by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+     this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+     Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+     the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+     with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+  6. _Trademarks_. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+     names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+     except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+     origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+  7. _Disclaimer of Warranty_. Unless required by applicable law or
+     agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+     Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+     WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+     implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+     of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+     PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+     appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+     risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+  8. _Limitation of Liability_. In no event and under no legal theory,
+     whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+     unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+     negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+     liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+     incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+     result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+     Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+     work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+     other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+     has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+  9. _Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability_. While redistributing
+     the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+     and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+     or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+     License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+     on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+     of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+     defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+     incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+     of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+  END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+Nuclex.Windows.Forms.Ninject
+============================
+
+Nuclex.Windows.Forms is a standalone, lightweight MVVM library that lets you "display"
+view models by automatically picking a default view, creating an instance of it and
+of your view model.
+
+This library provides a module for Ninject by which view models can not just be
+constructed via a default constructor, byt can use full constructor injection to require
+services such as the `IMessageService` (to display message boxes), the `IWindowManager`
+to open modal and modeless child windows and anything else you bind via Ninject.
