+# To compile BusyBox without touching the original sources
+# (as might be interesting for multi-target builds), create 
+# an empty directory, cd into it, and run this program by
+# giving its explicit path (kind of like how you would run
+# configure, if BusyBox had one).  Then you should be ready
+# to "make".  Files in the build tree, in particular Config.h,
+# will override those in the pristine source tree.
+#
+# If you use a ? in your path name, you lose, see sed command below.
