+
+To build the code you need to have the SDL development libraries
+(libsdl1.2-dev in Debian) and the Unicap library from
+http://www.unicap-imaging.org/ installed.
+
+The wire format for messages sent from sender to receiver is:
+<width, height, frame data>
+width:      uint32_t: frame width in pixels (network byte order)
+height:     uint32_t: frame height in pixels (network byte order)
+frame data: RGB24 frame data (R, G, B: 3 octets per pixel)
+
+TODO:
