+    Creates project files for Visual Studio 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015,
+    Xcode and Code::Blocks out of the configure / Makefile based build system.
     It also offers a way to enable or disable certain engines and the use
     of external libraries similar to configure. Run the tool without
     any arguments for further help.

+The Visual Studio project files can now be created automatically from the GCC
+files using the create_project tool inside the /devtools/create_project folder.
+
+To create the default project files, build create_project.exe, copy it inside
+this folder and run the create_msvc14.bat file for a default build. You can run
+create_project.exe with no parameters to check the possible command-line options.
