+INSTALLATION NOTES
+
+After creating a ~/.caffrc from the template, caff almost works out of the box.
+
+It has a problem, though: your personal public key is not imported in the caff
+working keyring.  Do fix it, do this:
+
+Considering you have this:
+
+   $CONFIG{'caffhome'}    = $ENV{'HOME'}.'.caff';
+
+Do:
+
+   gpg --export <your-key-id> | gpg --import --homedir ~/.caff/gnupghome
+
+This is a workaround for a bug which is already noted in the TODO list.
