+               Building Gnash from its git repository
+
+The source code of Gnash is checked into a git repository.  (See the main
+web page for Gnash for the current details on where that repository is.)
+The instructions for building Gnash in README and INSTALL assume that
+you are starting from a released "tarball" (e.g. gnash-VERSION.tar.gz).
+The tarball contains some files that are not in the original source code
+in git.  They are generated using tools that not everyone is expected
+to have.  This simplifies the process of building Gnash releases, for
+ordinary people.
+
+People who are actively working on maintaining Gnash need to have these
+extra tools.  They are used to build configuration files, international
+message translation catalogs, and such.  After you check out the source
+code of Gnash from git, you'll have to run a single script that rebuilds
+all these files.  This script is called "./autogen.sh", and it lives
+in the top-level directory of gnash.  You run it without any arguments.
+When it finishes, you can run "./configure", with or without arguments,
+as instructed in the README and INSTALL files.
+
+A variety of GNU programs are required when checking out the
+git tree and building the auto-generated files.  If anything is
+missing, ./autogen.sh will (probably) tell you, or produce a relatively
+understandable error message.  When in doubt, look at the *first*
+error message.  Here are the programs required:
+
+GNU            Minimum         RPM or DEB package names:
+Package                Version  Debian         Ubuntu          Fedora          
Gentoo
+-------         -------  -----------    ------------    ---------      
----------
+automake       1.9.6   automake1.9     automake1.9     automake
+autoconf       2.59                    autoconf        autoconf
+git            1.3                     git             git
+gettext                0.14.6                  gettext         gettext
+libtool                1.5.22                  libtool         libtool
+               1.5.22                  libltdl3-dev    libtool
+
+The "Minimum Version" is not necessarily the lowest version that will work;
+it's the lowest version that the Gnash team has recently tested with.  
+(You'll also need some very common tools, for example the standard Unix/GNU
+core utilities (ls, mv); text utilities (grep, sed), and shell (sh).
+Unless your system is very unusual, these will already be installed.)
+
+The version dependencies among these tools are, unfortunately, more
+complicated than we can describe here.  When ./autogen.sh is failing
+for you, either upgrade all the things in the above table to the latest
+version available (which may break other packages you're trying to build),
+or seek a compatible set of tools, perhaps the set that comes by default
+in your operating system (if any).
+
+If you are unable to run ./autogen.sh successfully on your system, consider
+building Gnash from a tarball release.  Or, move the git tree to a system
+on which you can run ./autogen.sh successfully, then move it back to the
+system you are trying to build on.
+
+Once ./autogen.sh completes successfully, you can go on with the normal
+instructions found in the README file.
