+The \c{buildfile} location is meant for exported buildfiles that can be
+imported by other projects. If a project contains any \c{**.build} buildfiles
+in its \c{build/export/} directory (or \c{**.build2} and \c{build2/export/} in
+the alternative naming scheme), then they are automatically installed into
+this location (recreating subdirectories).

 The \c{<project>}, \c{<version>}, and \c{<private>} substitutions in these
 \c{config.install.*} values are replaced with the project name, version, and
 private subdirectory, respectively. If either is empty, then the corresponding
