what you do when using them.

Brief description of scripts found here:

admin.el		utilities for setting version numbers and alike
alloc-color.c		a utility program that allocates a given number of
			colors on X.  Can be used to debug Emacs with
			dense colormaps (PseudoColor).
build-configs		build Emacs in various configurations
check-doc-strings	check doc strings against documentation
cus-test.el		tests for custom types and load problems
diff-tar-files		show files added/removed between two tar files
make-emacs		build Emacs in various ways
make-tarball.txt	instructions to create pretest or release tarballs
