+That repo contains build recipes, patches, IPS manifests, etc. necessary
+to download, prep, build, test, package and publish open source software.
+The build infrastructure is similar to that of the SFW consolidation in
+that it makes use of hierarchical Makefiles which provide dependency and
+recipe information for building the components.  In order to build the
+contents of the Userland gate, you need to clone it.  Since you are

+build or develop in the gate, you will need to clone it.  You can do so

-    can cause gmake(1) to perform it's work in parallel by adding '-j (jobs)'
-    to the command line.  Second, if you are only interested in working on a
-    particular component, you can change directories to that component's
-    directory and use 'gmake download' from that to only get it's source
-    archive.

-    You can build individual components or the contents of the entire gate.
