+How to include gob inside your project:
+
+       Put the gob distribution into a subdirectory in your main
+       project directory.  Use the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to include that
+       directory in your configure run.  And finally add a file called
+       NOINST_GOB into your toplevel project directory (this can be done
+       inside your configure script in fact) so that gob doesn't install
+       itself.  Then just use the made gob binary as you would other
+       preprocessors.
