+
+These notes intend to help people working on the CVS version of
+this package.
+
+* Requirements
+
+It is suggested that you build with the latest stable versions of the
+maintainer tools we depend upon, including:
+
+- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
+- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
+- Help2man <http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/>
+- M4 <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
+- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
+- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
+
+Autoconf is built with itself, so you may have bootstrapping issues
+when building from CVS.  You might try to install a recent snapshot
+of Autoconf (after installing the above tools), and then use that.
+
+Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
+later, a plain `cvs update -P && make' should be sufficient.
+
+Enjoy!
