+DEPRECATION NOTICE:
+
+  BRL-CAD's build system is being migrated from the GNU Autotools
+  Autoconf+Automake+Libtool trio to CMake.  As such, running configure
+  is no longer necessary.
+
+  This script along with the rest of the GNU Autotools build system is
+  a deprecated interface (see doc/deprecation.txt for details) subject
+  to removal in a future release of BRL-CAD and may not result in a
+  complete a build.
+
+  That said, we plan to maintain a configure script wrapper around the
+  CMake build for compatibility so your existing options still work as
+  expected.  (The autogen.sh script is still going away.)
+
+  Please read INSTALL for new build instructions.
