+PDB repository
+==============
+
+Want to conduct a post-mortem analysis, but all you've got is a bunch of PDB
+files and a call stack?
+Say no more!
+With the unique set of tools provided by this project, you'll never feel
+hopeless again.
+Do all kinds of crazy shit like resolving symbol names from their addresses &
+vice versa, etc.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+* Boost.Filesystem
+* Boost.Program_options
+* Boost.System
+
+Building
+--------
+
+Create the build files using CMake and build using Visual Studio.
+For example, using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (targetting x86-64 and using
+static Boost libraries):
+
+```
+> cd
+C:\workspace\build\pdb-repo\msvc\x64
+
+> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ^
+ -D BOOST_ROOT=C:\workspace\third-party\boost_1_61_0 ^
+ -D Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON ^
+ -D Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON ^
+ C:\workspace\personal\pdb-repo
