 If you want to build the FLTK library with an IDE you need to use
 CMake to generate the IDE files from the source distribution.
 
+The FLTK team will officially support generation of selected IDE projects,
+particularly Visual C++ and Xcode. Older version support of these IDE
+projects will be limited to the versions that are supported by and can be
+generated with CMake.
+
+Other IDE solutions generated with CMake may or may not work. The FLTK
+team will try to support as many IDE solutions as possible, but we may
+need help to adjust the CMake files to fit a particular IDE project.
