This is an attempt to explain how to use the binary distro related scripts in
this directory. I had to discover this on my own, so it might not always be
fully correct or complete, but it should at least help to start using them.

+NOTE (added 2005): because the bindist is again available for browsing on
+the web, we are using it to fulfill our obligations under the GPL. The
+source links from the bindist all point (on the webserver sancho.opendarwin)
+to the collection of source files used by the fink mirrors system; thus,
+the source is being made available. However, we also have a responsibility
+to make the .info and .patch files which correspond to the binaries available,
+and this is done in the finkinfo directories in the bindist. Unfortunately,
+these finkinfo files are not deposited automatically by these scripts,
+and must be put there by hand.
