itself (or are curious about its implementation details), see
build-system.dev.txt, and in particular its initial HISTORY section.
+Quick Start
+===========
+
+You need Dune >= 1.2.1 ; just type `dune build` to build the base Coq
+libraries. No `./configure` step is needed.
+
+Dune will get confused if it finds leftovers of in-tree compilation,
+so please be sure your tree is clean from objects files generated by
+the make-based system.
+
+If you want to build the standard libraries and plugins you should
+call `make -f Makefile.dune voboot`. It is usually enough to do that
+once per-session.
+
+More helper targets are availabe in `Makefile.dune`, `make -f
+Makefile.dune` will display help.
