+
+These notes intend to help people working on the CVS version of
+this package.
+
+* Requirements
+
+Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the
+maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to get the latest
+stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including:
+
+- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
+- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
+- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
+- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
+- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
+- Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
+
+As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
+suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
+
+Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
+Valgrind supports your architecture.
+
+Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
+later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.
+
+* First CVS checkout
+
+Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
+this package from CVS.  The next step is to get other files needed to
+build, which are extracted from other source packages:
+
+	$ ./bootstrap
+
+And there you are!  Just
+
+	$ ./configure
+	$ make
+	$ make check
+
+At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
+and the CVS master copy:
+
+	$ cvs diff
+
+should output no difference.
+
+Enjoy!
