+# This GNUmakefile is for GNU Make.  It is for convenience, so that
+# one can run 'make' in an unconfigured source tree.  In such a tree,
+# this file causes GNU Make to first create a standard configuration
+# with the default options, and then reinvokes itself on the
+# newly-built Makefile.  If the source tree is already configured,
+# this file defers to the existing Makefile.
+
+# If you are using a non-GNU 'make', or if you want non-default build
+# options, or if you want to build in an out-of-source tree, please
+# run "configure" by hand.  But run autogen.sh first, if the source
+# was checked out directly from the repository.
+
+
+# If a Makefile already exists, just use it.
