+Bison.

+* Requirements
+
+Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the

+stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including:
 
-- Automake 1.6 or 1.6.1
-- Autoconf 2.53a or better
-  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.gz   (992 kB)
-  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.bz2  (756 kB)
-- Gettext 0.11.3
+- Automake
+- Autoconf
+- Flex
+- Gettext
+- CVS Bison itself
 
 Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
 later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.

 Enjoy!
 
+* Troubleshooting
+
+Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the
+needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully.
+
+If you experience problems, I suggest the following:
+
+1. Do a regular CVS checkout
+
+2. Fetch a recent tarball in:
+   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/
+
+3. Extract it
+
+4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this
+   tarball, i.e.:
+   cp -r bison-1.875c/* bison-cvs
+
+5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
