+This directory tree's worth of stuff are utility bits that are used in
+more than one of the Glasgow functional-programming tools. (For the
+project-specific bits, try <project>/utils/<blah>.)
+
+etags/ A variant of the common Emacs tags-generating program.
+
+msub/ a utility from Paul DuBois, that lets you substitute
+ for make variables (e.g., $(CC) ) in any old document.
+ Given that, with the "make world" configuration
+ system, Makefiles have loads of useful config info in
+ them, this is the program used to sneak that info into
+ other files.
+
+verbatim/ A LaTeX pre-processor that some people like, namely
+ Simon PJ. Provides shorthand for common LaTeX
+ constructs that he uses.
+
+scripts/ little utility scripts
+
+ fastmake a "make" wrapper for compiling Haskell programs;
+ essentially, strips out the "make depend"ed
+ dependencies to avoid so much re-checking.
+
+ lndir from X imake stuff (via DuBois); make a shadow tree
+ of symbolic links
+
+ ltx a "latex" wrapper. Re-runs latex/bibtex/makeindex
+ enough times to "do the right thing."
+
+ mkdependC script version of C makedepend (from X11R4 via DuBois)
+
+ mkdirhier "mkdir a/b/c/d" will do "mkdir a; mkdir a/b; ..."
+ (assuming none of those dirs exist)
+
+ perltags "etags" for Perl.
+
+ runstdtest runs a pgm with some flags & some stdin; checks for an
+ expected exit code, expected stdout, and expected
+ stderr. (Expect this to change :-)
+
+ zap-if-same Zap files in this directory (and subdirectories) if
+ they are identical to files in the given directory
+ (and its subdirectories). With -s, it replaces the
+ files here with symlinks to the files there.
