 # I'll make a bunch of new files by adding missing DOCDOC comments to your
 #    source.  Those files will have names like ./src/common/util.c.newdoc.
 # You will want to look over the changes by hand before checking them in.
+#
+# So, here's your workflow:
+#
+# 0. Make sure you're running a bourne shell for the redirects below.
+# 1. make doxygen 1>doxygen.stdout 2>doxygen.stderr.
+# 2. grep Warning doxygen.stderr | grep -v 'is not documented' | less
+#      [This will tell you about all the bogus doxygen output you have]
+# 3. python ./contrib/redox.py <doxygen.stderr
+#      [This will make lots of .newdoc files with DOCDOC comments for
+#       whatever was missing documentation.]
+# 4. Look over those .newdoc files, and see which docdoc comments you
+#     want to merge into the main file.  If it's all good, just run
+#     "mv fname.c.newdoc fname.c".  Otherwise, you'll need to merge
+#     the parts you like by hand.
 
+# Which files should we ignore warning from?  Mostly, these are external
+# files that we've snarfed in from somebody else, whose C we do no intend
+# to document for them.
