+BiDi support
+------------
+
+Some languages are written right-to-left. In order to display such languages
+correctly, you need to build VDR with BIDI=1. This will link to the "fribidi"
+library and implement a function that prepares bidirectional texts to be
+displayed correctly. Since BiDi support adds some runtime overhead by requiring
+additional memory allocation and copying, this feature is not compiled in
+by default, so that users that have no need for this don't get any overhead.
