+The directory 'ipp/psconfig' contains tools for building the IPP, for
+testing the build environment, for building external C libraries and
+Perl modules, for setting up the user's environment, and for building
+a tarball to be distributed to the end users.
 
 The psconfig system allows the user to build and install the IPP

 With the psconfig tools, it is easy to switch between different
 installed versions or to recompile subsets of the IPP tree.

+Developer Build vs User Build
+
+Within the IPP code base, there are a few modules which are not
+distributed as part of the tarball.  These include 'glueforge', which
+is used to generate code for interacting with the database;
+'dbconfig', which defines a database layout; and 'ippdb.src', which is
+the raw auto-generated code.  The tarball is instead packaged with a
+version of ippdb for which autogen has been run, and for which there
+is a valid 'configure' script.  As a developer, it is necessary to
+build these packages.  There is a '-dev' option for psbuild which
+builds these packages.
 
 1. Set up the psconfig system.
