+Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple,
+stable, and robust. Hare uses a static type system, manual memory
+management, and a minimal runtime. It is well-suited to writing
+operating systems, system tools, compilers, networking software,
+and other low-level, high performance tasks.
+
+Hare uses and depends on the QBE compiler backend.
+
+Building hare (this "build driver") depends on:
+
+ * scdoc - the man page generator
+ * harec - the hare boostrap compiler
