+
+.SH NAME
+\fBkmk\fR \- framework for writing simple makefiles for complex tasks
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBkmk\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+kmk and its helper tools are an extension to GNU make to ease writing portable
+Makefile.
+.PP
+The goals of the kBuild framework:
+.PP
+ \- Similar behavior cross all supported platforms.
+.br
+ \- Flexibility, don't create unnecessary restrictions preventing ad-hoc
+solutions.
+.br
+ \- Makefile can very simple to write and maintain.
+.PP
+There are four concepts being tried out in the current kBuild incaration:
+.PP
+ \- One configuration file for a subtree automatically included.
+ \- Target configuration templates as the primary mechanism for makefile
+simplification.
+ \- Tools and SDKs for helping out the templates with flexibility.
+ \- Non-recursive makefile method by using sub-makefiles.
+.PP
+kBuild does not provide any facilities for checking compiler/library/header
+configurations, that's not in its scope. If this is important for your project,
+check out the autoconf tool in the GNU build system. It is possible to use
+kBuild together with autoconf if you like, but you might just as well use the
+full GNU package.
+.PP
+On Debian systems, the kBuild binaries can be found in \fI/usr/bin\fR and its
+data files in \fI/usr/share/kBuild\fR.
