+	      Building and Installing Emacs from Bazaar
+
+If this is the first time you go through it, you'll need to configure
+before bootstrapping:
+
+  $ ./configure
+
+Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
+byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in Bazaar.  Therefore, to
+build from Bazaar you must run "make bootstrap" instead of just "make":
+
+  $ bzr pull
+  $ make bootstrap
+
+Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every
+update from Bazaar.  "make" should work in 90% of the cases and be
+much quicker.
+
+  $ make
+
+(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
+of "make" in the last command.)
+
+Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" (and similar automatically
+generated files, such as esh-groups.el, and *-loaddefs.el in some
+subdirectories of lisp/, e.g. mh-e/ and calendar/) will need to be
+updated to reflect new autoloaded functions.  If you see errors (rather
+than warnings) about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that
+may be the reason.  Finally, sometimes there can be build failures
+related to *loaddefs.el (e.g. "required feature `esh-groups' was not
+provided").  In that case, follow the instructions below.
+
+To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do:
+
+  $ cd lisp
+  $ make autoloads
+
+If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap".
+If CPU time is not an issue, the most thorough way to rebuild, and
+avoid any spurious problems, is always to use this method.
+
+Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
+platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
+etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
+applicable to those systems as well.
+
+Because the Bazaar version of Emacs is a work in progress, it will
+sometimes fail to build.  Please wait a day or so (and check the bug
+and development mailing list archives) before reporting such problems.
+In most cases, the problem is known about and is just waiting for
+someone to fix it.
