 The Release Process
 *******************
 
    Making a release is more than just bundling up your source files in a
 tar file and putting it up for FTP.  You should set up your software so
 that it can be configured to run on a variety of systems.  Your Makefile
 should conform to the GNU standards described below, and your directory
 layout should also conform to the standards discussed below.  Doing so
 makes it easy to include your package into the larger framework of all
 GNU software.
