+This is GIMP version 2.0, a stable release of the GNU Image
+Manipulation Program. GIMP 2.0 installs side-by-side with GIMP 1.2 so
+there's no need to uninstall GIMP 1.2 (but sooner or later you will
+not be using it any longer...).
 
 Some features that were present in GIMP 1.2 are not included in this
 release. The perl bindings as well as all the perl scripts are not any
 longer included in this source tree. They have been moved into its own
 module called gimp-perl. Sooner or later there will be a gimp-perl
 release for GIMP 2.0. GAP, a set of plug-ins that used to live in the
-Video submenu has also become a separate package. Expect a preview
