Description

We should document the requirements for building the native libraries.

A link to a wiki page should be added to src/java/overview.html. The wiki page should provide instructions and requirements for building the native code on various platforms. Ideally Fedora/Redhat, Ubuntu, Windows and Mac instructions should be provided.
