ReadMe could be more helpful

I spent a little while researching why you can't pull glew from this repo and build it. Perhaps a few words in the Readme explaining that if you want to just get going, you should pull the tar ball from sourceforge, and that the repo here is only for use if you intend to generate the glew source code. Perhaps start the readme with

If you obtained the source from github you will need to make extensions, as the generated source is not included. If you wish to proceed immediately to installing glew, please obtain the tarball from sourceforge.

Such a paragraph would no doubt save several users from a little bit of puzzle solving.

Sure.

We might want to rev on the README.txt to point directly to the online documentation that is more detailed.
The README.txt hasn't been touched since 2005.

That would do it :)

I'm going to +1 this on the basis that I, too, cloned the repo, cd'ed to the folder, less'ed the readme, and expected make all to work.

I see now that I'm also incapable at reading a README properly and that this issue looks to be closed. Building after make extensions worked as expected.

Thanks all, improvements were made.
