+@section assimp_stlport Building against STLport
+
+If your compiler's default implementation of the STL is too slow, lacks some features,
+contains bugs, or if you just want to tweak Assimp's performance a little, try a build
+against STLport. STLport is a free, fast and secure STL replacement that works with
+all major compilers and platforms. To get it, visit their website at
+<a href="http://www.stlport.org"/><stlport.org></a> and download the latest STLport release.
+Urually you'll just need to run 'configure' + a makefile (see the README for mroe details).
+Don't forget to add <stlport_root>/stlport to your compiler's default include paths - <b>prior</b>
+to the directory where the compiler vendor's STL lies. Do the same for  <stlport_root>/lib and
+recompile Assimp. To ensure you're really building against STLport see aiGetCompileFlags().
