+Compiling for lua 5.1
+---------------------
+
+Starting from version 1.0.8pre1, tolua++ can be compiled with both lua 5.0 and
+5.1. Both versions will output the same code, and the C API (tolua++.h) is the
+same.
+
+The build system is not yet ready to detect/decide when to compile for 5.1,
+the easiest way right now is to add a file called 'custom.py' on the root of
+the package, with the following:
+
+## BEGIN custom.py
+
+CCFLAGS = ['-I/usr/local/include/lua5.1', '-O2', '-ansi']
+LIBPATH = ['/usr/local/lib']
+LIBS = ['lua5.1', 'dl', 'm']
+tolua_bin = 'tolua++5.1'
+tolua_lib = 'tolua++5.1'
+TOLUAPP = 'tolua++5.1'
+
+## END custom.py
+
+This will build the binary as 'tolua++5.1' and the library as 'libtolua++5.1.a'
+(taken from tolua_bin and tolua_lib), and take the lua headers and libraries
+from /usr/local/include/lua5.1 and /usr/local/lib. It will also link with
+'-llua5.1'. Modify the parameters acording to your system.
+
+Compatibility
+-------------
+
+There are a couple of things to keep in mind when running code inside tolua
+using the -L option:
+
+* `...' and arg: you can still use 'arg' on 5.1, this is done automatically by
+adding the 'arg' declaration to functions on files loaded with dofile.
+
+For example, the line:
+
+function foo( ... )
+
+becomes
+
+function foo( ... ) local arg = {n=select('#', ...), ...};
+
+This lets you use the same code on both versions without having to make any
+modifications.
+
+* keep in mind that there are slight differences on the way string.gsub works,
+and the original version of the function is always kept, so it will behave
+diffently depending on which version of lua you're using.
