+============================
+
+If you are reading this, you have retrieved the gawk code base via
+Git from savannah.gnu.org. This is good; gawk no longer uses CVS.
+
+Please execute ./bootstrap.sh before invoking the usual incantaton of
+`./configure && make && make check'. This version of bootstrap.sh
+should work OK.
+
+Bug reports should be sent to bug-gawk@gnu.org. Note that posting in
+comp.lang.awk is generally a bad idea, no matter what the purpose, but
+especially if you wish to report a gawk bug. Use the above email address.
+Really.
+
+Thanks,
+
+Arnold Robbins
+Gawk Maintainer
