 # This Makefile is used by the developer. It is not needed in any way to build
 # a checkout of the XGB repository.
 # It will be useful, however, if you are hacking at the code generator.
+# i.e., after making a change to the code generator, run 'make' in the
+# xgb directory. This will build xgbgen and regenerate each sub-package.
+# 'make test' will then run any appropriate tests (just tests xproto right now).
+# 'make bench' will test a couple of benchmarks.
+# 'make build-all' will then try to build each extension. This isn't strictly
+# necessary, but it's a good idea to make sure each sub-package is a valid
+# Go package.
 
+# My path to the X protocol XML descriptions.
 XPROTO=/usr/share/xcb
 
 # All of the XML files in my /usr/share/xcb directory EXCEPT XKB. -_-
+# This is intended to build xgbgen and generate Go code for each supported
+# extension.
