+Tools and makefile fragments necessary for compilation
+
+This module contains many tools and makefile configuration pieces,
+critical for building LibreOffice:
+
+bin/
+    contains lots of tools used during the build:
+
+    concat-deps*
+        these aggregate, and remove duplicates from module
+        dependencies, to accelerate build times.
+
+    make_installer.pl
+        this script executes the compiled instructions from
+        the scp2/ module to create an installer, and/or to
+        do a local install for the smoketest.
+
+gbuild/
+    implementation of the LibreOffice build system
+    See gbuild/README for more info.
+
+gdb/
+    lots of nice python helpers to make debugging -much- easier
+    that (eg.) print UCS2 strings as UTF-8 on the console to
+    help with debugging.
+
+inc/
+    old / increasingly obsolete dmake setup and includes, we are
+    trying to entirely rid ourselves of this
+
+src/
+    useful standard / re-usable component map files for components
+    which shouldn't export anything more than a few registration
+    symbols.
