+<h2>Apache HTTP Server binary builds</h2>
+<p> This directory contains contributed binary builds from committers,
+when available for a given platform.</p>
+<p>Official release artifacts of the Apache HTTP Server project are source
+releases.  Committers can contribute binary builds, typically for platforms 
+where compilation can be difficult or require commercial tools.</p>
+
+<h3>What do I do if a binary build is missing?</h3>
+<p>The best venue to discuss binary builds is the 
+<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html">users mailing list</a>.</p>
+<p>Because these builds are the contributions of individuals and not a project
+deliverable, please do not open issues in bugzilla about a missing build.</p>
