 There are several subdirectories:
 
-`src' holds the C code for Emacs (the Emacs Lisp interpreter and its
-    primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing functions).
-`lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for Emacs (most everything else).
-`lib-src' holds the source code for some utility programs for use by
-    or with Emacs, like movemail and etags.
-`etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files
-    Emacs uses, like the tutorial text and the Zippy the Pinhead quote
-    database.  The contents of the `lisp', `info', `man', and `lispref'
-    subdirectories are architecture-independent too.
-
-`info' holds the Info documentation tree for Emacs.
-`man' holds the source code for the Emacs Manual.  If you modify the
-      manual sources, you will need the `makeinfo' program to produce
-      an updated manual.  `makeinfo' is part of the GNU Texinfo
-      package; you need version 4.0 or later of Texinfo.
-`lispref' holds the source code for the Emacs Lisp reference manual.
