+triage tool
+This tool lets you comfortably look at Cppcheck analysis results for daca packages. It automatically
+downloads the package, extracts it and jumps to the corresponding source code for a Cppcheck
+message.
+
+triage uses "wget" and "tar"
+On Linux the tool can be directly run since the programs should be installed.
+On Windows something like Cygwin is necessary and the directory containing the executables must be
+in the PATH environment variable (for example "C:\cygwin\bin").
+
+Usage:
+After triage has been started you have to load a daca results file via the "Load" button.
+The file must contain the package URL line beginning with "ftp://" and the Cppcheck messages.
+When the results file has been parsed successfully you can see a list of Cppcheck messages directly
+beneath the "Load" button. Double-click any entry to let the tool show the source code and jump to
+and mark the corresponding line. If the package is not found it is downloaded and extracted
+automatically. So after the first double-click it is normal that it takes some time until the
+source code is shown.
