+dnl This configure script is complicated, because GRUB needs to deal
+dnl with three potentially different types:
+dnl
+dnl   build  -- the environment for building GRUB
+dnl   host   -- the environment for running utilities
+dnl   target -- the environment for running GRUB
+dnl
+dnl In addition, GRUB needs to deal with a platform specification
+dnl which specifies the system running GRUB, such as firmware.
+dnl This is necessary because the target type in autoconf does not
+dnl describe such a system very well.
+dnl
+dnl The current strategy is to use variables with no prefix (such as
+dnl CC, CFLAGS, etc.) for the host type as well as the build type,
+dnl because GRUB does not need to use those variables for the build
+dnl type, so there is no conflict. Variables with the prefix "TARGET_"
+dnl (such as TARGET_CC, TARGET_CFLAGS, etc.) are used for the target
+dnl type.
