-Installation and Build Instructions
------------------------------------
+For a more visual view of what is described above, it looks more like this:
+![](libs.gif)
+So, if built with `./configure`, then only libuninameslist is built, there is
+no libuninameslist-fr, and any function calls to other libraries return nothing.
+
+If built with `./configure --enable-frenchlib`, then both libraries are built.
+- Older programs(1,2,3) like FontForge (up to 20120713) or UMap can access
+libuninameslist or libuninameslist-fr using older access, or newer function calls.
+- Newer programs(4) can access all libraries through libuninameslist
+
+Last, but not least, do not mix and match. If you build libuninameslist with
+`./configure --enable-frenchlib`, you also need to install libuninameslist-fr
+since libuninameslist expects libuninameslist-fr to exist. If you build with
+`./configure`, then libuninameslist uses internal stub functions to return NULL
+and does not look for libuninameslist-fr; in this case, you can also have
+libuninameslist-fr installed too if you want (Program4 can access libuninameslist
+but cannot access libuninameslist-fr through libuninameslist).
