+Generators for language-binding--specific representations of UNOIDL entities:
+- cppumaker generates header (.hdl and .hpp) files for the C++ UNO language
+ binding
+- javamaker generates class files for the JVM language binding
+- the codemaker for .Net is in module cli_ure
+
+Some of the code is re-used by the skeletonmakers in module unodevtools.
+
+
+Note the different terminology used by cppumaker vs. gbuild for the three
+variants that can be generated by cppumaker for some of the inline functions:
+
+ cppumaker switch: -L; cpputype.cxx: light; gbuild: normal;
+ cppumaker switch: none; cpputype.cxx: normal; gbuild: bootstrap;
+ cppumaker switch: -C; cpputype.cxx: comprehensive; gbuild: comprehensive;
+
+...a recipe for confusion.
