+/* Bootstrapping right is difficult because of the circular dependencies.
+   Furthermore, we have to deal with the fact that many compilation targets
+   such as loaddefs.el or *.elc can typically be produced by any old
+   Emacs executable, so we would like to avoid rebuilding them whenever
+   we build a new Emacs executable.
+   To solve the circularity, we use 2 different Emacs executables,
+   "emacs" is the main target and "bootstrap-emacs" is the one used
+   to build the *.elc and loaddefs.el files.
+   To solve the freshness issue, we use a third file "witness-emacs"
+   which is used to witness the fact that there is a bootstrap-emacs
