Selected tools to create a proper Mozilla build environment
A selection of tools from different packages used to build Mozilla. These
tools include CVS, nsinstall, GNU bash, GNU Shell utilities, GNU text
utilities, GNU file utilities, GNU diff, GNU grep, GNU awk, GNU m4, GNU
make (with file-handle fix), GNU sed, and GNU regex. This package was
created to simplify buildig Mozilla as the build process requires
specific versions of these tools that are found in a number of different
archives. They are bundled here for convenience and to help Mozilla
coders keep a consistant set of build tools.
