+To support building on older systems, this infrastructure allows
+bundling libraries.  At the moment, this is just GLib.
+
+The intent of this system is that a "ostree-embeddeps.tar.gz" is
+created, which can be used as input to an RPM or Debian package, which
+can then be installed on older operating systems.
+
+To create one, use:
+
+$ cd embedded-dependencies
+$ make -f Makefile.bootstrap embedded-glib-download
+$ cd ..
+$ make release-tarball-embedded
+
+To build it:
+
+$ ./configure --enable-embedded-glib ...
+
+as usual.
