+Multi-binary compilation
+========================
+
+To compile for systems without much space (floppy distributions etc), you
+can create a single binary. This will save disk space by avoiding repeated
+code between the various parts.
+If you are familiar with "busybox", it's the same principle.
+
+To compile the multi-binary, first "make clean" (if you've compiled
+previously), then
+
+make PROGRAMS="programs you want here" MULTI=1
+
+To use the binary, symlink it from the desired executable:
+
+ln -s dropbearmulti dropbear
+ln -s dropbearmulti dbclient
+etc
+
+then execute as normal:
+
+./dropbear <options here>
+
+"make install" doesn't currently work for multi-binary configuration, though
+in most situations where it is being used, the target and build systems will
+differ.
