+Folder: /3rdparty
+
+This folder contains libraries written and (un?)maintained by people or parties
+outside the Pcsx2 DevTeam.  Libraries or code snippets written by the PCSX2 team
+are housed in /common instead.
+
+Cross-Compilation:
+
+Most libraries includes in /3rdparty come as either default installations in Linux
+distributions, or are easily obtainable.  Using the PCSX2 versions included here is
+optional in such cases, however using the distro-provided packages is not recommended.
+(using PCSX2 included versions may help resolve versioning issues).
+
+Modifications:
+
+Most of these libs in /3rdparty have been tailored slightly from the original
+forms downloaded from the net.  So if you want to upgrade to a new version you
+will need to do a proper diff merge.  Likewise, if you modify anything in a
+3rdparty library you should be sure to tag the modification with your sig or
+a "pcsx2" or something.  Thirdly, you can use Svn Log to check for modifications,
+however folder renames or svn homesite changes may not have all relevant history
+necessary to make an accurate merge.
