+# Implemented support for multiple diverse versions of Inkstitch extensions in Inkscape.
+#   - useful for testing and development
+#   - useful for comparing different versions of Inkstitch
+
+
+# this script generates inx files in inx/ directory from xml templates in templates/ directory
+# - added support for alternative id registration and menu names for Inkscape extensions
+#   - each xml template should be modified to use the new id_inkstitch and menu_inkstitch:
+#        <id>org.inkstitch.....</id>    ---> <id>org.{{ id_inkstitch }}.....</id>
+#        <submenu name="Ink/Stitch"     ---> <submenu name="{{ menu_inkstitch }}"
+#     or input/output xml template should be modified to use the filetypename:
+#        <filetypename>Ink/Stitch:...   ---> <filetypename>{{ menu_inkstitch }}:...
+
+
+# Here's an example of how to use two Inkstitch extensions:
+#   - install Inkstitch in two different locations (e.g. inkstitch and inkstitch-k)
+#       - check out the Inkstitch repository in two different locations
+#   - ensure 'make inx' is executed in both locations
+#       - this will generate also inx/locale/ files
+#   - generate modified inx files for second location
+#       - in the second location:
+#            > generate-inx-files -a k
+#   - install the inx files in Inkscape extensions directory
+#       - symlink .config/inkscape/extensions/inkstitch   -> inkstitch
+#       - symlink .config/inkscape/extensions/inkstitch-k -> inkstitch-k
+#   - modify .config/inkscape/keys/default.xml if necessary
+#   - run Inkscape with both Inkstitch extensions enabled
+#       - first version:  Extensions > Ink/Stitch
+#       - second version: Extensions > Ink/Stitch-k
