Overview of neuron components. Compile without-nmodl?

[blloyd]

Hi

Is there any documentation anywhere, giving an overview of the source code of Neuron?

Specifically, I would like to know which directories and/or options are import for me if I want to compile neuron as a python module only.
I have been having troubles compiling it for Windows 7 with native python, and would like to know what is the minimal options needed to get a basic installation of a neuron python module?

What is nmodl, does it make sense to compile without-nmodl?
What is readline, does it make sense to compile without-readline?
What is memacs, does it make sense to compile without-memacs?
...

Thanks & regards
Bryn
