+Description: Tools for developing, maintaining and distributing software
+ The dist package is a set of tools meant to ease the construction
+ and maintenance of portable software.
+ .
+ The first component is the Configure script generator, metaconfig, which
+ automatically builds the Configure script from your sources. Ideally,
+ the end-user receiving your source code will simply have to read
+ your README file, run the Configure script (which is self-documented),
+ and then run make.
+ .
+ The second component is the Makefile.SH generator, which is a generic
+ configured Makefile, reusing some of the information figured out
+ by Configure, and a generic Jmakefile description.
+ .
+ The third component is the RCS aware package generator, which is
+ used when it's time to build up the shell archives used to distribute
+ your program.
+ .
+ The fourth and latest component is the patch generator, used to
+ make updates of your sources, which can later be applied on the
+ original distribution by using the patch program.
