+# Tools and Non-Build Scripts
+
+Tools and scripts mostly not used during the build
+
+This direction has a number of key pieces (?) that are used during the
+build, or are simply generally useful. One example is `bin/run`.
+
+This utility can be used to run the executables in this folder:
+
+ workdir/LinkTarget/Executable
+
+Format of the usage is:
+
+ ./bin/run application [parameters]|--list|--help
+
+Use --list (same as -list or -l) to get the list of executables
+Use --help (same as -help or -h) to get this help
+
+Another example is:
+
+ bin/find-german-comments <directory>
+
+which will try to detect and extract all the German comments in a
+given source code hierarchy `/` directory.
+
+Please note that the associated issue [tdf#39468](https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39468) is now marked as
+RESOLVED/FIXED, so don't expect many German comments.
