+This directory contains interfaces and implementations that isolate the
+rest of the package from platform details.
+
+Code in the rest of the package includes "port.h" from this directory.
+"port.h" in turn includes a platform specific "port_<platform>.h" file
+that provides the platform specific implementation.
+
+See port_stdcxx.h for an example of what must be provided in a platform
+specific header file.
