+BurntSushi's Fork
+=================
+I've forked the XGB repository from Google Code due to inactivty upstream.
+
+Much of the code has been rewritten in an effort to support thread safety
+and multiple extensions. Namely, go_client.py has been thrown away in favor
+of an xgbgen package.
+
+The biggest parts that *haven't* been rewritten by me are the connection and
+authentication handshakes. They're inherently messy, and there's really no
+reason to re-work them.
+
+I like to release my code under the WTFPL, but since I'm starting with someone
+else's work, I'm leaving the original license/contributor/author information
+in tact.
+
+I suppose I can legitimately release xgbgen under the WTFPL.
+
+What follows is the original README:
