+kBuild Quick Reference
+======================
+
+This is an attempt at summarizing the magic of kBuild makefiles.
+
+
+The anatomy of a kBuild Makefile
+--------------------------------
+
+A typical makefile::
+

+ ## @file
+ # Makefile description.
+ #

+ # Copyright (c) year name
+ # License, disclaimer and other legal text.
+ #
+
+ SUB_DEPTH = ../..
+ include $(KBUILD_PATH)/subheader.kmk
+
+ #
+ # Include sub-makefiles.
+ #
+ include $(PATH_CURRENT)/subdir1/Makefile.kmk
+ include $(PATH_CURRENT)/subdir2/Makefile.kmk
+
+ #
+ # Global variables.
+ #
+ MYPREFIX_SOMETHING = or another
+
+ #
+ # Target lists.
+ #
+ DLLS += mydll
+ PROGRAMS += myprogs
+
+ #
+ # mydll - description.
+ #
+ mydll_TEMPLATE = MYDLL
+ mydll_SOURCES = mydll.c
+ mydll_SOURCES.win = $(mydll_0_OUTDIR)/mydll.def
+
+ #
+ # myprog - description.
+ #
+ myprog_TEMPLATE = MYPROG
+ myprog_SOURCES = myprog.c
+
+ #
+ # Custom rules (optional of course).
+ #
+ $$(mydll_0_OUTDIR)/mydll.def:
+ $(APPEND) -t $@ LIBRARY mydll.dll
+ $(APPEND) $@ EXPORTS
+ $(APPEND) $@ ' myfunction'
