+packaging
+---------
+
+If you're making an npm package and you know the graph is dangerously deep for windows (i'm looking at you, [bower](http://bower.io)) you should run `fenestrate make` on your package and commit the change.
+
+The `fenestrate make` command creates a flatter dependency graph and saves it in a special `__fenestrate` attribute in your `package.json` file. By itself, it doesn't flatten the dep graph, but *indicates to the Windows consumer that the package can be safely flattened with `fenestrate rewrite`, and describes the flatter dependencies.* The idea is for Windows servers to add a post-install hook script to the `node_modules` folder in their installation root (and this setup is covered in the next section).
+
+So by successfully running `fenestrate make` on your package before you publish it, you're letting Windows consumers know that your package is optimized for Windows, even if you can't test on Windows yourself.
+
+windows server setup
+--------------------
+
+You can configure a Windows server to run `fenestrate rewrite` on every npm package that installs inside a certain directory tree. (Note that `fenestrate rewrite` will silently fail with a successful exit code if it doesn't find a `__fenestrate` configuration, so it can be safely run on non-fenestrated packages as well.)
+
+Let's say that all of your npm packages on a given server will be descendents of the `D:\web\` folder. Add the following file, creating directories if they don't already exist:
+
+    D:\web\node_modules\.hooks\install.cmd
+
+And put in that file:
+
+    fenestrate rewrite .
+
+Add another, blank file, with the same name without the three-letter extension. (This is a Node quirk on Windows, to force it to acknowledge an install hook script.)
+
+    D:\web\node_modules\.hooks\install
+
+Finally, install fenestrate globally:
+
+    npm install -g fenestrate
+
+And now, all packages will be fenestrate rewritten as they come in. You're welcome.
