 === C-based dependency scanner ===
 
-The purpose is to write a dependency scanner for C-like languages with a focus on performance and in a way that is re-usable outside the scope of Waf:
+The purpose is to write a dependency scanner for C-like languages with a focus on:
+  * Performance: the current implementation is a Python module which is slow
+  * Portability: the code should be useful for other build systems out of the scope of Waf 
+
+The outcomes will provide:
 
   * C, C++ and Fortran support
-  * Language versions (c89, c99, c++-11)
+  * Support for a variety of language versions (c89, c99, c++-11)
+  * Support for file encodings (utf-8 and iso8859-1 at least)
   * Distribution of a python module usable by Waf but also as a standalone library and as an application
-  * Writing a testsuite will be needed for the project
+  * A testsuite that can be run on Linux and Windows
