+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_IS_RELEASE(POLICY)
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Determine whether the code is being configured as a release, or from
+#   git. Set the ax_is_release variable to 'yes' or 'no'.
+#
+#   If building a release version, it is recommended that the configure
+#   script disable compiler errors and debug features, by conditionalising
+#   them on the ax_is_release variable.  If building from git, these
+#   features should be enabled.
+#
+#   The POLICY parameter specifies how ax_is_release is determined. It can
+#   take the following values:
+#
+#    * git-directory:  ax_is_release will be 'no' if a '.git' directory exists
+#    * minor-version:  ax_is_release will be 'no' if the minor version number
+#                      in $PACKAGE_VERSION is odd; this assumes
+#                      $PACKAGE_VERSION follows the 'major.minor.micro' scheme
+#    * always:         ax_is_release will always be 'yes'
+#    * never:          ax_is_release will always be 'no'
+#
+#   Other policies may be added in future.
