+**THIS WILL BE REMOVED AT A LATER DATE.**
+
+It's a proof of concept showing early modifications of lbmk, turning it into
+lwmk - LibreWolf MaKe, for building librewolf releases. I'm doing this for
+fun, to replace LibreWolf's source.git and bsys6.git build systems. Most
+features not added yet, but lbmk's "mkhelper" feature can (and will) be used
+to implement custom logic e.g. interacting with the mach build system in
+firefox. This will be a unified package manager for building *many* firefox
+derivatives, starting with LibreWolf, with the aim that all of the mozilla
+forks later use it, and perhaps work more closely with each other. I will
+publish this on a separate website when it's ready. **You are looking at
+an old version of it. I'm much further ahead locally. I will release it
+when it's finished!"
