+zygo FAQ:
+Q: Why are there warning messages about undefined functions!?
+A: Ignore them, it's for your own good. If it compiles, it's probably fine.
+ (zygo uses the widechar functions from libncursesw. On some systems these are
+ defined in /usr/include/ncurses.h. On some systems they aren't. This isn't
+ an issue aslong as it can link with the widechar library.)
+
+Q: Okay, I ignored the warning messages, but it still didn't compile. Help?
+A: You need ncursesw (widechar ncurses).
+
+Q: AHHH HELP WHY IS IT OPENING A BROWSER? WHY DOES IT SAY WEIRD STUFF? WHY
+ IS [LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE WEIRD] HAPPENING?
+A: It's probably xdg-open's fault. zygo is designed primarily as a browser of
+ gopher menus, but can also display text files for convenience. For any other
+ file, the plumber is invoked to decide what to do with the file, allowing for
+ greater customizability and unified behaviour between multiple programs using
+ the same concept. One recommendation I've seen is rifle(1) from the ranger(1)
+ file manager. (Writing your own plumber is simple, the uri of the file is
+ placed in argv[1] of the plumber).
