+GIMP-SinXPI
+===========
+
+Modify an image's colors by mapping the channels to a curve defined by a
+mathematical expression. (Similar to Gimp's built-in curves, only mathier.)
+
+Developed for GIMP-2.8.6
+
+Works for RGB*,GREY*,INDEXED* images.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Try "make install". If that doesn't work, tell me why and I'll see what I
+can do in the next release.
+
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+* GimpZoomPreview. This widget needs to be banished to the moon until it
+  learns to behave itself. Indexed color is the biggest problem, but
+  why the hell is its shape locked to the image's aspect ratio?
+
+* Translations. I really have to learn this gettext thing. The documentation
+  and tutorials make it sound like yet another "do a shit-load of work and
+  maybe we'll give you a feature that you wouldn't know how to test anyway"
+  pile of shit. (GNU's Not Unix, you say?)
+
+* 32-Bits and GEGL. Updating to Gimp-3 is going to be a pain.
+
+* Reporting NaNs in expression evaluation. We silently convert to zero.
+  In fact, any out-of-range [0..1] value should be reported.
