+Here you'll find plain text documentation of how to handle various SCons
+project procedures. Files contained herein:
+
+change.txt
+ How changes are integrated, including generating and
+ distributing aedist change sets, and updating the CVS repository
+ on SourceForge.
+
+new-platform.txt
+ Steps to add a new Platform/*.py file. This is probably out
+ of date.
+
+new-script.txt
+ Steps to add a new script or utility (like scons and sconsign)
+ to what we ship.
+
+new-tool.txt
+ Steps to add a new Tool/*.py file. This is probably out of date.
+
+release.txt
+ Steps to go through when releasing a new version of SCons.
+
+subrelease.txt
+ Steps to go through when releasing a new subsidiary version
+ of SCons--for example, 0.95.1 after we've released 0.95.
+ So far, we've only done this to get some early testing on major
+ refactorings.
