 # Build the FreeBSD Handbook *outside* of the www tree, and install it
 # in to the right place as necessary.
 #
+# The Handbook is no longer completely self contained in 
+# doc/ja_JP.eucJP/books/handbook, (it requires support files outside of 
+# this directory) and it is much simpler to build it outside the web tree 
+# than it is to make a nest of symlinks to try and build it inside the tree.
+#
 # This assumes that you have the www/ and doc/ trees checked out beside
 # one another -- this was always the case anyway, so there are no extra
 # requirements here.
