+Packaging hints for binary package distributors
+===============================================
+
+Although the source of the bison package comes as a single package,
+in distributions of binary packages the installed files should
+be split into two packages:
+
+   bison-runtime
+        Contents: Runtime libraries and programs.
+        Audience: Anyone who wants to run internationalized programs
+                  that contain Bison-generated parsers.
+
+   bison
+        Contents: Tools and documentation for developers that use Bison.
+        Audience: Anyone who wants to develop programs that use parsers.
+        Dependencies: requires bison-runtime.
+
+The 'bison-runtime' binary package is much smaller than the 'bison'
+binary package.  It should be included in any distribution that
+contains programs that use the diagnostics contained in
+Bison-generated parsers, e.g., Gawk, GCC, Perl.
+
+If you want to install both packages at the same time, you simply do
+at the toplevel directory:
+
+      ./configure
+      make
+      make install
+
+After installation, the files
+
+      $prefix/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/bison-runtime.mo
+
+belong to the bison-runtime package; all other installed files belong
+to in the bison package.
