+Procedure for making a GF release:
+
+1. Make sure everything the should be in the release has been
+   checked in.
+
+2. Go to the src/ dir.
+
+   $ cd src
+
+3. Edit configure.ac to set the right version number 
+   (the second argument to the AC_INIT macro).
+
+4. Edit gf.spec to set the version and release numbers 
+   (change %define version and %define release).
+
+5. Commit configure.ac and gf.spec:
+
+   $ cvs commit -m 'Updated version numbers.' configure.ac gf.spec
+
+6. Go back to the root of the tree.
+
+   $ cd ..
+
+7. Tag the release. (X_X should be replaced by the version number, with
+   _ instead of ., e.g. 2_0)
+
+   $ cvs tag RELEASE-X_X
+
+8. Build a source package:
+
+   $ cd src
+   $ ./configure
+   $ make dist
+
+9. Build an x86/linux RPM (should be done on a Mandrake Linux box):
+
+   $ cd src 
+   $ ./configure
+   $ make rpm
+
+10. Build a generic binary x86/linux (should be done on a Linux box,
+    e.g. banded.medic.chalmers.se):
+
+   $ cd src
+   $ ./configure --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu
+   $ make binary-dist
+
+11. Build a generic binary sparc/solaris package (should be done on a Solaris box,
+    e.g. remote1.cs.chalmers.se):
+
+   $ cd src
+   $ ./configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2
+   $ make binary-dist
+
+12. Build a Mac OS X package:
+
+    ???
+
+13. Build a Windows package:
+
+    ???
+
+14. Update website.
+
+15. Party!
