+\section1 Introduction to tqmake
+
+\e tqmake is a tool created by Trolltech to write makefiles for
+different compilers and platforms.
+
+Writing makefiles by hand can be difficult and error prone, especially
+if several makefiles are required for different compiler and platform
+combinations. With \e tqmake, developers create a simple single
+'project' file and run \e tqmake to generate the appropriate
+makefiles. \e tqmake takes care of all the compiler and platform
+dependencies, freeing developers to focus on their code. Trolltech
+uses \e tqmake as the primary build tool for the TQt library, and for
+the tools supplied with Qt.
+
+\e tqmake also takes care of Qt's special requirements, automatically
+including build rules for \link tqmoc.html tqmoc\endlink and \e tquic.
