+# A few remarks on simulavr source tarballs and patches:
+#  * simulavr-1.0.0.tar.gz has been built from source not in git
+#  * Specifically, the rel-1.0 git branch and release-1.0.0 tag
+#    are not the code from which simulavr-1.0.0.tar.gz has been built
+#  * The rel-1.0 git branch does not contain essential build fixes
+#    from the master git branch (we need the SWIG 2 patch etc.)
+# Conclusions:
+#  * We can't just easily cherry-pick a few patches and apply them
+#    on top of the simulavr-1.0.0.tar.gz code.
