+GIT-INFO
+
+This file is only present in git - never in release archives. It is used as a
+sentinel file in buildconf.bat in order to differentiate a git checkout from
+release and daily snapshot archives.
+
+On *nix-like systems, run the ./buildconf script first to generate a fresh
+configure script. This requires autotools to be installed locally.
