+	      Building and Installing Emacs from CVS
+
+Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
+byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
+Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
+instead of just "make":
+
+  $ ./configure
+  $ make bootstrap
+
+The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt
+before it builds the final Emacs binary.
+
+Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
+update.  Unless there are problems, we suggest the following
+procedure:
+
+  $ ./configure
+  $ make
+  $ cd lisp
+  $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
+  $ cd ..
+  $ make
+
+(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
+of "make" in the last command.)
+
+Occasionally the files "lisp/loaddefs.el" or lisp/mh-e/mh-loaddefs.el
+will need be updated to reflect new autoloaded functions.  If you see
+errors about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that may be
+the reason.  Another symptom may be an error saying that "loaddefs.el"
+could not be found; this is due to a change in the way loaddefs.el was
+handled in CVS, and should only happen once, for users that are
+updating old CVS trees.
+
+To update loaddefs.el and mh-loaddefs.el, do:
+
+  $ cd lisp
+  $ make autoloads mh-autoloads EMACS=../src/emacs
+
+If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap".
+
+Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
+platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
+etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
+applicable to those systems as well, except that the value of the
+EMACS variable on the Make command line might be different, e.g.,
+../bin/emacs.exe or some such.
+
+Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacs
+should be sent to [e-mail] rather than gnu.emacs.help
+or gnu.emacs.bug.  Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET which will
+send it to the proper place.
+
+
+Note on using SSH to access the CVS repository from inside Emacs
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Write access to the CVS repository requires using SSH v2.
+
+If you execute cvs commands inside Emacs, specifically if you use
+pcl-cvs, output from CVS may be lost due to a problem in the
+interface between ssh, cvs, and libc.  Corrupted checkins have
+also been rumored to have happened.
+
+To fix the problem, save the following script into a file, make it
+executable, and set CVS_RSH to the file name of the script:
+
+#!/bin/bash
+exec 2> >(exec cat >&2 2>/dev/null)
+exec ssh "$@"
+
+This may be combined with the following entry in ~/.ssh/config to
+simplify accessing the CVS repository:
+
+Host subversions.gnu.org
+     Protocol 2
+     ForwardX11 no
+     User YOUR_USERID
