 Provide C functions and C++ functions to convert a SDL\_Event to a string for tracing (debug).
 
 The functions to convert a SDL event to a string is located at the directory evt2str.
-The directory evt2str includes the header and C-file. The CPP-file is only a symbolic link to the C-file.
-For a C project simple copy the files from evt2str to your project.
-For a C++ project copy the files from evt2str and rename the .c file to .cpp or use the symbolic link.

+For a C project simple copy the files from evt2str to your project. The CPP file can be deleted.
+For a C++ project copy the files from evt2str and delte the .cpp file and rename the .c file to .cpp
+or use the original cpp file. In this case the c file is also needed because
+the original cpp file includes the c file.
 
 The C++ version has additional functions which are only available at C++ (checked with
 the macro `__cplusplus` which only exist at C++).
