+To use this plugin you will need to build the provided
+helper C program, see below.
+
+To install the plugin, as usually, copy this directory
+under the Tkabber's plugins directory ~/.tkabber/plugins
+so that you get a hierarchy like this:
+ ~/.tkabber/plugins
+ ~/.tkabber/plugins/urgent/
+ ~/.tkabber/plugins/urgent/urgent.tcl
+
+Ensure you have a C compiler and X11 development files installed
+("gcc" and "libx11-dev" packages on Debian systems),
+then change to the plugin's directory:
+$ cd ~/.tkabber/plugins/urgent/
+and build the helper C program:
+$ gcc -lX11 -o urgent -urgent.c
+
+On older systems you might need to add an appropriate library
+path to the gcc's search path using the -L command line
+parameter, something like
+$ gcc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o urgent -urgent.c
+
+Restart Tkabber, to get the plugin loaded.
+Visit the Cutsomize->Plugins->Urgent group of settings.
+Consult the README file for the details about using this plugin.
