! The development sources for Texinfo is available through anonymous cvs
! at Savannah, see
    http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=texinfo
  
! This distribution uses whatever versions of automake, autoconf, and
! gettext are listed in NEWS; usually the latest ones released.  If you
! are getting the Texinfo sources from cvs, or change the Texinfo
! configure.ac, you'll need to have these tools installed to (re)build.
! You'll also need help2man.  (All of these are available from
! ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu.)
! 
! Here's the order in which to run the tools for a fresh build:
! 
!   autoheader    # creates config.in, not necessarily needed every time
!   aclocal -I m4 # for a new version of automake
!   automake
!   autoconf
!   configure CFLAGS=-g --enable-maintainer-mode
!   make
! 
! (with arguments to taste, of course.)  Or you can run
  
    ./bootstrap
! 
! instead of the various auto* tools.
! 
! 
! One final note: If you would like to contribute to the GNU project by
! implementing additional documentation output formats for Texinfo, that
! would be great.  But please do not write a separate translator texi2foo
! for your favorite format foo!  That is the hard way to do the job, and
! makes extra work in subsequent maintenance, since the Texinfo language
! is continually being enhanced and updated.  Instead, the best approach
! is modify Makeinfo to generate the new format, as it does now for Info,
! HTML, XML, and DocBook.

+ After getting the CVS sources, and installing the tools above, you can run
