+
+The Google Mock class generator is an application that is part of cppclean.
+For more information about cppclean, visit http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/
+
+The mock generator requires Python 2.3.5 or later. If you don't have Python
+installed on your system, you will also need to install it. You can download
+Python from: http://www.python.org/download/releases/
+
+To use the Google Mock class generator, you need to call it
+on the command line passing the header file and class for which you want
+to generate a Google Mock class.
+
+Make sure to install the scripts somewhere in your path. Then you can
+run the program.
+
+ gmock_gen.py header-file.h [ClassName]...
+
+If no ClassNames are specified, all classes in the file are emitted.
+
+To change the indentation from the default of 2, set INDENT in
+the environment. For example to use an indent of 4 spaces:
+
+INDENT=4 gmock_gen.py header-file.h ClassName
+
+This version was made from SVN revision 281 in the cppclean repository.
+
+Known Limitations
+-----------------
+Not all code will be generated properly. For example, when mocking templated
+classes, the template information is lost. You will need to add the template
+information manually.
+
+Not all permutations of using multiple pointers/references will be rendered
+properly. These will also have to be fixed manually.
