+# Begin by slurping in the boilerplate from one level up.
+# Remember, TOP is the top level of the innermost level
+# (FPTOOLS_TOP is the fptools top)
+
+# We need to set TOP to be the TOP that the next level up expects!
+# The TOP variable is reset after the inclusion of the fptools
+# boilerplate, so we stash TOP away first:
+LIBRARIES_TOP := $(TOP)
+TOP:=$(TOP)/..
+
+# Also set GHC_TOP here, because we need to get at bits of GHC's config
+GHC_TOP := $(TOP)/ghc

+# Pull in GHC's version & project info
+-include $(GHC_TOP)/mk/version.mk

+# Pull in the fptools boilerplate
+include $(TOP)/mk/boilerplate.mk
+
+# Reset TOP
+TOP:=$(LIBRARIES_TOP)
