 To generate the projects on Windows:
 ```
 # Put your SDL2 folders somewhere nice!
-mkdir flibitBuild
-cd flibitBuild
+mkdir build
+cd build
 cmake -A Win32 -G "Visual Studio 10 2010" .. -DSDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS="C:\SDL2-2.24.0\include" -DSDL2_LIBRARIES="C:\SDL2-2.24.0\lib\x86\SDL2;C:\SDL2-2.24.0\lib\x86\SDL2main"
 ```
 
-Note that on some systems, the `SDL2_LIBRARIES` list on Windows may need
-SDL2/SDL2main to have `.lib` at the end of them. The reason for this
-inconsistency is unknown.

-Also note that if you're using a Visual Studio later than 2010, you will need to
-change the `-G` string accordingly; otherwise you will get a weird cryptic
-error. Refer to the list below:
