+Add a new project
+-----------------
+
+For example, add a new _testclinic_limited project to build a new
+_testclinic_limited extension, the file Modules/_testclinic_limited.c:
+
+* In PCbuild/, copy _testclinic.vcxproj to _testclinic_limited.vcxproj,
+  replace RootNamespace value with `_testclinic_limited`, replace
+  `_asyncio.c` with `_testclinic_limited.c`.
+* Open Visual Studio, open PCbuild\pcbuild.sln solution, add the
+  PCbuild\_testclinic_limited.vcxproj project to the solution ("add existing
+  project).
+* Add a dependency on the python project to the new _testclinic_limited
+  project.
+* Save and exit Visual Studio.
+* Add `;_testclinic_limited` to `<TestModules Include="...">` in
+  PCbuild\pcbuild.proj.
+* Update "exts" in Tools\msi\lib\lib_files.wxs file or in
+  Tools\msi\test\test_files.wxs file (for tests).
+* PC\layout\main.py needs updating if you add a test-only extension whose name
+  doesn't start with "_test".
+* Add the extension to PCbuild\readme.txt (this file).
+* Build Python from scratch (clean the solution) to check that the new project
+  is built successfully.
+* Ensure the new .vcxproj and .vcxproj.filters files are added to your commit,
+  as well as the changes to pcbuild.sln, pcbuild.proj and any other modified
+  files.
