+== Debugging ==
+
+the ActiveX control is compiled with verbose output by default. However you will
+need to launch Internet Explorer from a Cygwin shell to see the output.
+
+Debugging the ActiveX control DLL with GNU GDB can be difficult. Fortunately,
+the ActiveX control can also be compiled as an executable rather than a DLL.
+In ActiveX terms, this is called a local server.
+The advantage of a local server is that it will never crash its client,
+i.e Internet Explorer, if itself is crashing.
+The build system does not currently allow to create an executable version of
+the ActiveX control, you will need to manually define the BUILD_LOCALSERVER
+pre-processor variable and modify the Makefile to exclude the '-shared' option
+at the linking stage. Once this is done, you just need to launch axvlc.exe to
+have a working Activex control. Please note, that executable version of the
+ActiveX control will override any settings required for the DLL version, which
+will no longer work until you (re)register it as shown in the following section
