+This directory contains drivers for the DBMI library.
+The driver functions are for internal usage.
+
+The DBMI API to be used for module programming is available in:
+`lib/db/`
+
+NOTE:
+`db__driver_*` functions are implemented in a driver. If some of them
+are not used or defined, the driver will use stub functions in
+`lib/db/stubs/`.
+
+For some platforms like Cygwin, multiply defined symbols are not
+resolved in a way that UNIX does. Even worse is that it is impossible
+to build shared libraries with undefined symbols. For example,
+`libgrass*dbmidriver.so` cannot be built without any implementations
+of `db__driver*\*` functions which should be specific to a db driver.
+
+To work around this problem, function pointers are defined to use
+driver's implementations instead of those of the db stubs library.
+To do this automatically, run `../mk_dbdriver_h.sh` (GRASS GIS 6)
+in driver's directory, `#include "dbdriver.h"` from `main.c`, and
+execute `init_dbdriver()`.
+
+Function pointers are defined in `lib/db/dbmi_driver/dbstubs.h`
+This header file can be generated with
+`lib/db/dbmi_driver/mk_dbstubs_h.sh` (GRASS GIS 6).
