+
+  usage:
+
+    $(firstword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)) tool/depot/<tool> ...
+
+  This tool is a front end to the depot tools like 'create', 'extract' or
+  'build'. The tool takes care to enable and to invoke the clang/llvm
+  tool 'scan-build' such that the make command is correctly recognized
+  by the static analyzer.
