+Users with a build of Julia based on Intel's Math Kernel Library (MKL) can use MKL
+for FFTs by setting a preference in their top-level project by either using the
+`FFTW.set_provider!()` method, or by directly setting the preference using
+[`Preferences.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Preferences.jl).  Note that this
+choice will be recorded for the current project, and other projects that wish to use
+MKL for FFTs should also set that same preference.
+Note further that MKL provides only a subset of the functionality provided by FFTW. See
 Intel's [documentation](https://software.intel.com/en-us/mkl-developer-reference-c-using-fftw3-wrappers)
 for more information about potential differences or gaps in functionality.
