+If you have taken the sources from CVS you will need the following
+packages (or later) to build GNU tar. We don't make any extra effort
+to accommodate older versions of these packages, so please make sure
+that you have the latest stable version.
+
+- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
+- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
+- Bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/>
+- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
+- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
+- M4 <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
+- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo>
+- Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
+
+As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
+suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
+
+Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
+Valgrind supports your architecture.
+
+Before building the package, run "bootstrap". It obtains various
+additional files from the CVS repository and the Translation Project
+site and prepares the source directory for building.
+
+When run without arguments, bootstrap will try to obtain gnulib and
+paxutils files from their corresponding CVS repositories on Savannah
+using anonymous SSH access. Then, it will fetch the po files from tar
+page at Translation Project, and, finally, it will start autoconfiguration
+process. Simply running it without arguments should do in most cases.
+Several options allow to control the behavior of bootstrap:
+
+ --gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME Specify the local directory where gnulib
+ sources reside. Use this if you already
+ have gnulib sources on your machine, and
+ do not want to waste your bandwidth dowloading
+ them again.
+
+ --paxutils-srcdir=DIRNAME Specify the local directory where paxutils
+ sources reside. Use this if you already
+ have paxutils sources on your machine, and
+ do not want to waste your bandwidth dowloading
+ them again.
+
+ --cvs-auth=METHOD Set the CVS access method used for downloading
+ gnulib files. METHOD is one of the keywords
+ accepted by cvs -d option (see info cvs
+ repository).
+
+ --cvs-user=USERNAME Set the CVS username to be used when accessing
+ the gnulib repository.
+
+ --no-po Do not download po files.
+
+Notice also that when using CVS authentication method "ext", bootstrap
+will set the variable CVS_RSH to "ssh", unless it is already set to
+some other value.
