What is covered within this file is mainly information to authors
of modules. The author of an external module should supply
a makefile that hides most of the complexity, so one only has to type
'make' to build the module. A complete example will be present in
'make' to build the module. A complete example will be presented in
chapter 4, "Creating a kbuild file for an external module".
