+<pre>
+Information for HDF5 maintainers:
+
+* You can run make from any directory. However, running in a
+ subdirectory only knows how to build things in that directory and
+ below. However, all makefiles know when their target depends on
+ something outside the local directory tree:
+
+ $ cd test
+ $ make
+ make: *** No rule to make target ../src/libhdf5.a
+
+* All Makefiles understand the following targets:
+
+ all -- build locally.
+ install -- install libs, headers, progs.
+ uninstall -- remove installed files.
+ mostlyclean -- remove temp files (eg, *.o but not *.a).
+ clean -- mostlyclean plus libs and progs.
+ distclean -- all non-distributed files.
+ maintainer-clean -- all derived files but H5config.h.in and configure.
+
+* Most Makefiles also understand:
+
+ TAGS -- build a tags table
+ dep, depend -- recalculate source dependencies
+ lib -- build just the libraries w/o programs
+
+* If you have personal preferences for which make, compiler, compiler
+ flags, preprocessor flags, etc., that you use and you don't want to
+ set environment variables, then use a site configuration file.
+
+ When configure starts, it looks in the config directory for files
+ whose name is some combination of the CPU name, vendor, and
+ operating system in this order:
+
+ CPU-VENDOR-OS
+ VENDOR-OS
+ CPU-VENDOR
+ OS
+ VENDOR
+ CPU
+
+ The first file which is found is sourced and can therefore affect
+ the behavior of the rest of configure. See config/BlankForm for the
+ template.
+
+* If you use GNU make along with gcc the Makefile will contain targets
+ that automatically maintain a list of source interdependencies; you
+ seldom have to say `make clean'. I say `seldom' because if you
+ change how one `*.h' file includes other `*.h' files you'll have
+ to force an update.
+
+ To force an update of all dependency information remove the
+ `.depend' file from each directory and type `make'. For
+ instance:
+
+ $ cd $HDF5_HOME
+ $ find . -name .depend -exec rm {} \;
+ $ make
+
+ If you're not using GNU make and gcc then dependencies come from
+ ".distdep" files in each directory. Those files are generated on
+ GNU systems and inserted into the Makefile's by running
+ config.status (which happens near the end of configure).
+
+* If you use GNU make along with gcc then the Perl script `trace' is
+ run just before dependencies are calculated to update any H5TRACE()
+ calls that might appear in the file. Otherwise, after changing the
+ type of a function (return type or argument types) one should run
+ `trace' manually on those source files (e.g., ../bin/trace *.c).
+
+* Object files stay in the directory and are added to the library as a
+ final step instead of placing the file in the library immediately
+ and removing it from the directory. The reason is three-fold:
+
+ 1. Most versions of make don't allow `$(LIB)($(SRC:.c=.o))'
+ which makes it necessary to have two lists of files, one
+ that ends with `.c' and the other that has the library
+ name wrapped around each `.o' file.
+
+ 2. Some versions of make/ar have problems with modification
+ times of archive members.
+
+ 3. Adding object files immediately causes problems on SMP
+ machines where make is doing more than one thing at a
+ time.
+
+* When using GNU make on an SMP you can cause it to compile more than
+ one thing at a time. At the top of the source tree invoke make as
+
+ $ make -j -l6
+
+ which causes make to fork as many children as possible as long as
+ the load average doesn't go above 6. In subdirectories one can say
+
+ $ make -j2
+
+ which limits the number of children to two (this doesn't work at the
+ top level because the `-j2' is not passed to recursive makes).
+
+* To create a release tarball go to the top-level directory and run
+ ./bin/release. You can optionally supply one or more of the words
+ `tar', `gzip', `bzip2' or `compress' on the command line. The
+ result will be a (compressed) tar file(s) in the `releases'
+ directory. The README file is updated to contain the release date
+ and version number.
+
+* To create a tarball of all the files which are part of HDF5 go to
+ the top-level directory and type:
+
+ tar cvf foo.tar `grep '^\.' MANIFEST |unexpand |cut -f1`
