+FreeSWITCH is a scalable open source cross-platform telephony platform
+designed to route and interconnect popular communication protocols using
+audio, video, text or any other form of media.  It was created in 2006 to
+fill the void left by proprietary commercial solutions. FreeSWITCH also
+provides a stable telephony platform on which many telephony applications
+can be developed using a wide range of free tools.
+
+Unlike other SlackBuilds which have a /usr installation prefix, this
+script will install FreeSWITCH to /opt/freeswitch instatead. This is done
+to simplify the build process since FreeSWITCH attemps to install itself
+into many non-standard directories in the prefix directory. Therefore, it
+is installed as a self-contained and easily-removable location in /opt.
+
+This script also expects there to be a user and group called "freeswitch",
+with uid and gid of 269 (see http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt):
+# groupadd -g 269 freeswitch
+# useradd -u 269 -d /opt/freeswitch -s /bin/bash -g freeswitch freeswitch
+
+If you execute the script without creating this user and group, it won't
+build the FreeSWITCH package.
+
+To enable building with PostgreSQL support, use:
+# PGSQL=yes ./freeswitch.SlackBuild
+
+To disable building with Python support, use:
+# PYTHON=no ./freeswitch.SlackBuild
