versions of
MMM Mode; always be sure you have compiled for the correct emacsen.
+* I want to install the CVS version, but there's no `configure' script.
+
+The `configure' script which is included in the official distributions
+is not present in CVS, because it is automatically generated by GNU
+Automake/Autoconf from files like `Makefile.am' and `configure.in'.
+To build the CVS version the same way as the official distributions,
+you must first run:
+
+$ cd mmm-mode
+$ aclocal
+$ automake
+$ autoconf
+
+and then you can continue as usual:
+
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make install
+
+Note that aclocal/automake/autoconf may or may not be installed on
+your system, since they are considered developer tools rather than
+end-user tools. If you can't or don't want to install them, however,
+you can still use the CVS version of MMM Mode by manually copying all
+the `.el' files into a directory in your `load-path'. Optionally, you
+may also byte-compile them manually (this is what `make' normally
+does). Byte-compiling gives some speed improvement, but if you
+experience problems, the stack traces are sometimes more informative
+if you are using the source files only.
+
+The Info files `mmm.info-*' are also not included in CVS, since they
+are generated from `mmm.texinfo' by the program `makeinfo'. If you
+want to install the Info documentation from CVS, you will have to run
+this manually as well, and copy the resulting info files into the
+appropriate location for your system.
+
+The CVS version is, of course, even less guaranteed to be bug-free
+than the official distributions. But please report any problems you
+have with it, so they can be fixed for the next release.
