+.SH NAME
+create_makefiles \- recreates all Makefiles beneath a directory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B create_makefiles
+.I dir
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcreate_makefiles\fP recreates all \fIMakefile\fPs in
+\fIdir\fP and its (recursed) subdirectories from the corresponding
+\fIMakefile.am\fP templates.
+.PP
+This script must be run from the toplevel directory (the
+one containing \fIconfigure\fP).
+This script saves time compared to re-running configure completely.
+.PP
+If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the
+environment variables below), it will be assumed that each \fIMakefile.am\fP
+and \fIMakefile.in\fP belongs beneath the source directory and that each
+\fIMakefile\fP belongs beneath the build directory.
+.PP
+This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the
+source
+directory is different from the build directory.
+If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory,
+the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
+.TP
+OBJ_SUBDIR
+Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the
+source directory.  For instance, if the source directory is \fItdesdk\fP
+and the build directory is \fItdesdk/obj-i386-linux\fP, then OBJ_SUBDIR
+should be set to \fIobj-i386-linux\fP.
+.TP
+OBJ_REPLACEMENT
+A \fBsed\fP expression that is used to transform the source directory
+into the build directory.
+For instance, if the source directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk\fP and the
+build directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk-obj\fP, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT could
+be set to \fIs#tdesdk#tdesdk-obj#\fP.
