+phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP intended to handle the
+administration of MySQL over the World Wide Web. phpMyAdmin supports a
+wide range of operations with MySQL. The most frequently used operations
+are supported by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields,
+relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc), while you still have the
+ability to directly execute any SQL statement.
+
+It is recommended to use libmcrypt and mcrypt packages with phpmyadmin to
+speed up database access considerably.
+
+By default, there is only a sample config file included with the package.
+You can either copy that file and edit it according to your taste or you
+can do a graphical setup.  Both processes are detailed in the docs.
+
+You can override DOCROOT, PHPUSER, and PHPGROUP at build time.
+They default to DOCROOT=/var/www/htdocs, PHPUSER=root, PHPGROUP=apache.
+
+ADDITIONAL NOTE:
+You may also have to recompile PHP to include support for mcrypt.  Without this
+you may see warnings about mcrypt extension in phpmyadmin.  Please see the 
+link below on recompiling PHP with mcrypt support. (info and link provided by 
+Joel Adamson):  http://slackwiki.org/Recompile_php_with_mcrypt
