+How the scripts are structured:
+- check-package is the main engine, called by the user.
+  For each input file, this script decides which parser should be used and it
+  collects all classes declared in the library file and instantiates them.
+  The main engine opens the input files and it serves each raw line (including
+  newline!) to the method check_line() of every check object.
+  Two special methods before() and after() are used to call the initialization
+  of variables (for the case it needs to keep data across calls) and the
+  equivalent finalization (e.g. for the case a warning must be issued if some
+  pattern is not in the input file).
+- checkpackagebase.py contains the base class for all check functions.
+- checkpackagelib.py contains the classes for common check functions.
+  Each check function is explicitly included in a given type-parsing library.
+  Do not include every single check function in this file, a class that will
+  only parse hash files should be implemented in the hash-parsing library.
+  When a warning must be issued, the check function returns an array of strings.
+  Each string is a warning message and is displayed if the corresponding verbose
+  level is active. When the script is called without --verbose only the first
+  warning in the returned array is printed; when called with --verbose both
+  first and second warnings are printed; when called with -vv until the third
+  warning is printed; an so on.
+  Helper functions can be defined and will not be called by the main script.
+- checkpackagelib_type.py contains check functions specific to files of this
+  type.
+
+Some hints when changing this code:
+- prefer O(n) algorithms, where n is the total number of lines in the files
+  processed.
+- when there is no other reason for ordering, use alphabetical order (e.g. keep
+  the check functions in alphabetical order, keep the imports in alphabetical
+  order, and so on).
+- use pyflakes to detect and fix potential problems.
+- use pep8 formatting.
+- keep in mind that for every class the method before() will be called before
+  any line is served to be checked by the method check_line(). A class that
+  checks the filename should only implement the method before(). A function that
+  needs to keep data across calls (e.g. keep the last line before the one being
+  processed) should initialize all variables using this method.
+- keep in mind that for every class the method after() will be called after all
+  lines were served to be checked by the method check_line(). A class that
+  checks the absence of a pattern in the file will need to use this method.
+- try to avoid false warnings. It's better to not issue a warning message to a
+  corner case than have too many false warnings. The second can make users stop
+  using the script.
+- do not check spacing in the input line in every single function. Trailing
+  whitespace and wrong indentation should be checked by separate functions.
+- avoid duplicate tests. Try to test only one thing in each function.
+- in the warning message, include the url to a section from the manual, when
+  applicable. It potentially will make more people know the manual.
+- use short sentences in the warning messages. A complete explanation can be
+  added to show when --verbose is used.
+- when testing, verify the error message is displayed when the error pattern is
+  found, but also verify the error message is not displayed for few
+  well-formatted packages... there are many of these, just pick your favorite
+  as golden package that should not trigger any warning message.
+- check the url displayed by the warning message works.
+
+Usage examples:
+- to get a list of check functions that would be called without actually
+  calling them you can use the --dry-run option:
+$ support/scripts/check-package --dry-run package/yourfavorite/*
+
+- when you just added a new check function, e.g. Something, check how it behaves
+  for all current packages:
+$ support/scripts/check-package --include-only Something $(find package -type f)
+
+- the effective processing time (when the .pyc were already generated and all
+  files to be processed are cached in the RAM) should stay in the order of few
+  seconds:
+$ support/scripts/check-package $(find package -type f) >/dev/null ; \
+  time support/scripts/check-package $(find package -type f) >/dev/null
+
+- vim users can navigate the warnings (most editors probably have similar
+  function) since warnings are generated in the form 'path/file:line: warning':
+$ find package/ -name 'Config.*' > filelist && vim -c \
+  'set makeprg=support/scripts/check-package\ $(cat\ filelist)' -c make -c copen
