+Simple filesystem-based desktop application deployment for Windows
+
+# Introduction #
+
+**unfurl** is a simple desktop application deployment tool for Microsoft
+Windows.
+
+The main objective is to create a simple and robust alternative to systems such
+as [ClickOnce][1]. Inspired by [nlaunch][2], the objective is to create an
+application/environment/language-agnostic deployment tool that does not require
+sophisticated infrastructure.
+
+# How it works #
+
+1. **unfurl** is started with the manifest file as the first argument. Any
+   additional arguments will be passed along to the target application.
+   Examples:
+   * `unfurl.exe myapp`
+   * `unfurl.exe myapp.xml`
+   * `unfurl.exe apps\myapp`
+   * `unfurl.exe P:\deploy\myapp.xml`
+2. It finds the manifest file based on the first argument:
+  * If the argument is an absolute or relative path, it is used
+  * Search the working directory for the manifest file, adding `.xml` if needed
+  * Search the application directory for the manifest file, adding `.xml` if
+    needed
+3. The manifest file is parsed.
+4. It checks the local `APPDATA` folder for existence of the latest version of
+   the target application binary.
+5. If a local binary was not found, the latest application package is found in
+   `repository`. The package naming convention is
+   `[identifier]-[current-version].zip`. E.g. `myapp-1.0.zip`. The package is
+   extracted to the local `APPDATA` folder.
+6. The application specified by `binary` is launched, passing along any
+   additional command line arguments.
+
+If an error occurs during unpackaging, the local copy is removed from
+`APPDATA`.
+
+# Manifest file #

+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" ?>

+  <binary>myapp.exe</binary>
+  <repository>P:\deploy</repository>
+  <identifier>myapp</identifier>
+  <current-version>1.0</current-version>
+</unfurl>
+```
