-What is Baobab
-==============
-
- Baobab is able to scan either specific directories or the whole
- filesystem, in order to give the user a graphical tree representation
- including each directory size or percentage in the branch.
- It also auto-detects in real-time any change made to your home 
- folder as far as any mounted/unmounted device.
-
- A detailed documentation of the program could be read at:
- http://www.gnome.org/projects/baobab.
-
-
-System Requirements
-===================
-
-Baobab should build on most unices. It needs the X11R6 (or xorg)
-libraries, glib, and gtk 2.x.
