+# Wrapper scripts for binaries
+
+The build process creates "local" versions of the binaries. These
+binaries can be run out of the source / build tree, and do not need to
+be installed in order to work.
+
+However, the "local" binaries require manual mangling of environment
+variables in order to work. As such, it's easier to just have shell
+script wrappers so people have to remember fewer things.
