Now that I've autoconfiscated the top level, this is my next project.  
(I'll get back to cleaning up the top level, but I'll do this first.)

The big question is, *where* should this be documented?  I can document 
the toplevel Makefile interface quite clearly, but I'm very unsure where 
to put said documentation; should I duplicate it in the docs for each 
package (and if so, where in those docs)?  Put it in some special 
location?  What?
