+- This replaces the "joystick" build that was previously available.

+- Included in this build is a simple udev rule to automatically restore the
   joystick configuration(s); see the package README in the documentation
-  directory for more specific rules
+  directory for more specific rules.
+
+- By default, this build includes a newer version of /usr/bin/inputattach,
+  which overwrites the one from Slackware's gpm package. The new
+  inputattach should behave identically to the old one, except that it
+  supports many more devices, and is capable of running as a daemon. It
+  also has a man page, which the old one didn't have. If you have problems
+  with the new inputattach, reinstall gpm and then rebuild this package
+  with GPM_COMPAT=yes set in the environment. With this option, the new
+  inputattach will be installed as /usr/bin/inputattach-lct.
