Now that I've autoconfiscated the top level, this is my next project.
(I'll get back to cleaning up the top level, but I'll do this first.)
The big question is, *where* should this be documented? I can document
the toplevel Makefile interface quite clearly, but I'm very unsure where
to put said documentation; should I duplicate it in the docs for each
package (and if so, where in those docs)? Put it in some special
location? What?
