+rem
+rem  This script performs several maintenance functions prior to building
+rem  simh projects.  Some of these funtions are optional and depend on the
+rem  needs of the project being built, and others are generic and are always
+rem  performed.
+rem
+rem  The optional activities are invoked by passing parameters to this 
+rem  procedure.  The parameters are:
+rem     ROM    To run the BuildROMs program prior to executing a project
+rem            build.  This program verifies that the include files containing
+rem            ROM images are consistent with the ROM images from which they
+rem            are derived.
+rem     BUILD  To validate that the required dependent libraries and include
+rem            files are available in the directory ..\..\windows-build\
+rem            These libraries currently include winpcap and pthreads.
+rem
+rem  In addition to the optional activities mentioned above, other activities
+rem  are also performed.  These include:
+rem       - confirming that if the current source is a clone of the simh
+rem         git repository, then then git hooks which manage making the
+rem         git commit hash available during builds are properly installed
+rem         in the repository hooks directory.
+rem       - performing the activities which make the git repository commit id
+rem         available in an include file during compiles.
