+================================================================
+= Working with CVS
+
+* To regenerate dependent files created by aclocal and automake,
+  use the `bootstrap' script.  It uses the code from the source
+  tree, so the resulting files (aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in) should
+  be the same as you would get if you install this version of
+  automake and use it to generate those files.
+
+* Dependent files aclocal.m4, configure and Makefile.in in all
+  directories should be up to date in the CVS repository, so that
+  the changes in them can be easily noticed and analyzed.
