+<h1>GNU Make Standard Library</h1>
+The GNU Make Standard Library (GMSL) is a collection of functions
+implemented using native GNU Make functionality that provide list and
+string manipulation, integer arithmetic, associative arrays, stacks,
+and debugging facilities.&nbsp; The GMSL is released under the BSD License.<br>

+<h2>Using GMSL</h2>
+The two files needed are <span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl</span>
+and <span style="font-family: monospace;">__gmsl</span>.&nbsp; To
+include the GMSL in your Makefile do<br>
+<pre style="margin-left: 40px;">include gmsl</pre>
+<span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl</span> automatically includes<span style="font-family: monospace;"> __gmsl</span>.&nbsp; To check that
+you have the right version of <span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl</span>
+use the <span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl_compatible</span>
+function (see
+below). The current version is <span style="font-family: monospace;">1 1 7</span>.<br>
+<br>
+The GMSL package also includes a test suite for GMSL.&nbsp; Just run <span style="font-family: monospace;">make -f gmsl-tests</span>.<br>
+<h2>Logical Operators</h2>GMSL has boolean $(true) (a non-empty string)
+and $(false) (an empty string).&nbsp; The following operators can be
+used with those variables.<br>

+<h2>Integer Arithmetic Functions</h2>
+Integers are represented by lists with the equivalent number of
+x's.&nbsp; For example the number 4 is x x x x.&nbsp; The maximum
+integer that the library can handle as <span style="font-style: italic;">input</span> (i.e. as the argument to a
+call to <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_encode</span>) is
+65536. There is no limit on integer size for internal computations or
+output.<br>
+<br>
+The arithmetic library functions come in two forms: one form of each
+function takes integers as arguments and the other form takes the
+encoded form (x's created by a call to <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_encode</span>).&nbsp; For example,
+there are two plus functions: <span style="font-family: monospace;">plus</span>
+(called with integer arguments and returns an integer) and <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_plus</span> (called with encoded
+arguments and returns an encoded result).<br>
+<br>
+<span style="font-family: monospace;">plus</span> will be slower than <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_plus</span> because its arguments
+and result have to be translated between the x's format and
+integers.&nbsp; If doing a complex calculation use the <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_*</span> forms with a single
+encoding of inputs and single decoding of the output.&nbsp; For simple
+calculations the direct forms can be used.<br>
+<br>
