This directory contains tools for building the IPP, for testing the
build environment, for building external C libraries and Perl modules,
for setting up the user's environment, and for building a tarball to
be distributed to the end users.  

Developer Build vs User Build

Within the IPP code base, there are a few modules which are not
distributed as part of the tarball.  These include 'glueforge', which
is used to generate code for interacting with the database;
'dbconfig', which defines a database layout; and 'ippdb.src', which is
the raw auto-generated code.  The tarball is instead packaged with a
version of ippdb for which autogen has been run, and for which there
is a valid 'configure' script.  As a developer, it is necessary to
build these packages.  There is a '-developer' option for psbuild
which builds these packages.
