+This is the file that gets printed when the user runs "make help",
+starting just after the "help-starts-here" line.
+
+help-starts-here
+
+all
+ The usual default; builds everything but doesn't run the
+ tests.
+
+check (or tests)
+ Runs the standard set of tests.
+
+test
+ Runs one test. Use like this:
+ make test t=wcsmbs/test-wcsnlen
+ Note that this will rebuild the test if needed, but will not
+ rebuild what "make all" would have rebuilt.
+
+--
+Other useful hints:
+
+builddir$ rm testroot.pristine/install.stamp
+ Forces the testroot to be reinstalled the next time you run
+ the testsuite (or just rm -rf testroot.pristine)
+
