+# Running examples:
+#
+#    $ ./for-group configure
+#    $ ./for-group make [-jN]
+#
+# This is a wrapper for the configure and Make steps designed for a group
+# of users (sharing the same group name) using this pipeline on the same
+# build directory.
+#
+# When the configuration (normally done with `./configure') and build
+# (normally done with `.local/bin/make') steps are done with this with this
+# script, all the files that are created within the pipeline have these
+# properties:
+#
+#   1) Group owner will be a special group (value of `thisgroup' below).
+#   2) The permission flags give write access to the group members.
