The only tricky thing when building from Git is the weird dependence
on the devtools-par source code.

The build system will by default look at `$(topdir)/../devtools-par`
for the devtools-par source code, and copy the relevant files into the
libretools directory.  This can be changed by adjusting the
`devtoolsdir` configuration variable, see "Configuration" in the main
INSTALL file.  If the `$(devtoolsdir)` directory does not exist, but
all of the copied files exist in the libretools directory, they will
simply be used.

In the distribution tarball includes the copies of the devtools files,
so it is not necessary to download the devtools source separately
when using the tarball.

Once you have the devtools source taken care of, you can build and
install like normal.
