fixed. I changed the wording slightly here and there.
Hope you don't mind me fiddling with this one...

Welcome to the OpenSceneGraph (OSG).
For up-to-date information on the project, in-depth details on how to
compile and run libraries and examples, see the documentation on the
OpenSceneGraph website:
http://www.openscenegraph.org
For the impatient, read the simplified build notes below.
Robert Osfield.
Project Lead.

Notes for 1.9.8 release
=======================
The OpenThreads/include and /src directories have now been merged
directly into the OpenSceneGraph distribution. This means that you
don't need to download, compile or install OpenThreads separately
anymore. You can remove any external OpenThreads from your system.

How to build the OpenSceneGraph
===============================
The OpenSceneGraph uses the CMake build system to generate a
platform-specific build environment. CMake reads the CMakeLists.txt
files that you'll find throughout the OpenSceneGraph directories,
checks for installed dependenciesand then generates the appropriate
build system.
If you don't already have CMake installed on your system you can grab
it from http://www.cmake.org, use version 2.4.6 or later.
Under unices (i.e. Linux, IRIX, Solaris, Free-BSD, HP-Ux, AIX, OSX)
use the cmake or ccmake command-line utils, or use the included tiny
configure script that'll run cmake for you. The configure script
simply runs 'cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release' to ensure that you
get the best performance from your final libraries/applications.
cd OpenSceneGraph
./configure
make
sudo make install
Alternatively, you can create an out-of-source build directory and run
cmake or ccmake from there. The advantage to this approach is that the
temporary files created by CMake won't clutter the OpenSceneGraph
source directory, and also makes it possible to have multiple
independent build targets by creating multiple build directories. In a
directory alongside the OpenSceneGraph use:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../OpenSceneGraph -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
sudo make install
Under Windows use the GUI tool CMakeSetup to build your VisualStudio
files. The following page on our wiki dedicated to the CMake build
system should help guide you through the process:
http://www.openscenegraph.com/index.php?page=Build.CMake
Under OSX you can either use the CMake build system above, or use the
Xcode projects that you will find in the OpenSceneGraph/Xcode
directory.
For further details on compilation, installation and platform-specific
information read "Getting Started" at http://www.openscenegraph.org,
