-After a fresh checkout, @c bootstrap, and a simple @c configure, you may
-experience errors when running @c make that some files cannot be found
-(e.g. @c version.texi), and a second @c make will "mysteriously" solve
-the problems.  The isssue is well-known and expected, if unfortunate.

-The OpenOCD project requires that all developers building from  the
-git repository use the @c --enable-maintainer-mode option when
-running the @c configure script.  This option ensures that certain files

-the distribution tarball.  The @c bootstrap script will remind you of
-this requirement when it runs.

-In addition to solving these problems, this option enables Makefile
-rules (provided by automake) that allow the normal @c make process to

-themselves.  This avoids the heavy-handed approach of running the
-@c bootstrap script after changing one of these files.
