+This directory contains scripts that are used by the regression
+tester, <http://people.redhat.com/geoffk/gcc-regression/>.
+
+The primary script is 'btest-gcc.sh'. This is the script that is run
+to actually test the compiler.
+
+'objs-gcc.sh' takes a combined tree and builds (but does not test) the
+tools required for 'btest-gcc.sh'. It is run periodically to update
+the tools. This script is followed by running 'btest-gcc.sh' using
+the newly-build tools to check that they will not cause regressions.
+
+'site.exp' is what $DEJAGNU points to when the regression tester runs
+these scripts.
+
+Note that any changes made here need to be approved by the regression
+tester's maintainer (see MAINTAINERS). The changes will be used on
+the tester's next run, so `experimental' changes are very strongly
+discouraged :-).
