+
+Go Builder is a continuous build client for the Go project. 
+It integrates with the Go Dashboard AppEngine application.
+
+Go Builder is intended to run continuously as a background process.
+
+It periodically pulls updates from the Go Mercurial repository. 
+
+When a newer revision is found, Go Builder creates a clone of the repository,
+runs all.bash, and reports build success or failure to the Go Dashboard. 
+
+For a successful build, Go Builder will also run benchmarks 
+(cd $GOROOT/src/pkg; make bench) and send the results to the Go Dashboard.
+
+For a release revision (a change description that matches "release.YYYY-MM-DD"),
+Go Builder will create a tar.gz archive of the GOROOT and deliver it to the
+Go Google Code project's downloads section.
+
+Usage:
+
+  gobuilder goos-goarch...
+
+  Several goos-goarch combinations can be provided, and the builder will 
+  build them in serial.
+
+Optional flags:
+
+  -dashboard="godashboard.appspot.com": Go Dashboard Host
+    The location of the Go Dashboard application to which Go Builder will
+    report its results.
+
+  -bench: Run benchmarks
+
+  -release: Build and deliver binary release archive
+
+The key file should be located at $HOME/.gobuilder or, for a builder-specific
+key, $HOME/.gobuilder-$BUILDER (eg, $HOME/.gobuilder-linux-amd64).
+
+The build key file is a text file of the format:
+
+  godashboard-key
+  googlecode-username
+  googlecode-password
+
+If the Google Code credentials are not provided the archival step
+will be skipped.
