+This directory exists so that Subversion-based projects can share a single
+copy of the ``ez_setup`` bootstrap module for ``setuptools``, and have it
+automatically updated in their projects when ``setuptools`` is updated.
+
+For your convenience, you may use the following svn:externals definition::
+
+ ez_setup svn://svn.eby-sarna.com/svnroot/ez_setup
+
+You can set this by executing this command in your project directory::
+
+ svn propedit svn:externals .
+
+And then adding the line shown above to the file that comes up for editing.
+Then, whenever you update your project, ``ez_setup`` will be updated as well.
