+# Originally written by Paul Eggert.  The canonical version of this
+# script is maintained as build-aux/bootstrap in gnulib, however, to
+# be useful to your project, you should place a copy of it under
+# version control in the top-level directory of your project.  The
+# intent is that all customization can be done with a bootstrap.conf
+# file also maintained in your version control; gnulib comes with a
+# template build-aux/bootstrap.conf to get you started.
