+This is a list of developer tools included in the SVN source tarball
+but not necessarily shipped in the tarball or binary distributions If you're
+viewing it with Emacs, you can try doing Ctl-C Ctl-t browse through
+the outline headers.  Ctl-C Ctl-a will unfold them again.
+
+** ais.py
+
+AIS packet decoder in Python.  Useful as a check on the C code.
+
+** fakecompare
+
+Compare the results from running gpsfake on a logfile between this
+machine and a remote one.  Especially useful when remote and local
+have different word lengths.
+
+** findbreakage
+
+Starting from a specified SVN revision number, this Python program runs 
+regression tests forward until something fails.  It uses a binary search, so
+convergence should be very rapid.
+
+** leapsecond.py
+
+Gets the current leap-second correction forom IERS and/or the USNO.
+
+** logextract
+
+Extract pure NMEA from an emailed gpsd error log. The output can be fed 
+to gpsfake. (This one goes in the tarball.)
+
+** regress-builder
+
+This script runs an exhaustive test on combinations of compilation options, 
+looking for ones that break the build.
+
+** striplog
+
+Strip leading comment lines from NMEA sentence logs.  gpsfake can do
+this itself now, so this script has a lot of dust on it.
