-Autowaf
-=======
+Jalv
+====
-This is autowaf, a bundle of waf and a few extensions intended to be easy to
-use directly as source code in a project. Using this as a submodule or subtree
-named `waflib` in a project allows waf to be used without including binary
-encoded data in the waf script. This gets along with revision control and
-distributions better, among other advantages, without losing
-self-containedness.
+Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for Jack which exposes plugin
+ports to Jack, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack
+application.
+For more information, see <http://drobilla.net/software/jalv>.
-To use this in a project, add this repository as a directory named `waflib` in
-the top level of the project, and link or copy `waf` to the top level.
+Jalv is a small program which is useful, but also intended to be an appropriate
+test host for plugin development. It runs plugins from the command line with
+no user interaction, is light enough to run in valgrind, and is capable of
+dumping all communication between the plugin and its UI in a human readable
+format.
-Two waf extras are also included: `autowaf.py` and `lv2.py`.
-
-The `autowaf.py` module is a kitchen sink of Python utilities for building
-consistent packages, and can be imported in a wcript as
-`waflib.extras.autowaf`.
-
-The `lv2.py` extra defines options for LV2 plugin installation paths. It can
-be used by calling `opt.load('lv2')` and `conf.load('lv2')` in the appropriate
-locations in a wscript.
+To make it simple to test plugins in hosts that use different toolkits, there
+are several Jalv executables: jalv, jalv.gtk, jalv.gtkmm, and jalv.qt.
