+# Notes for users
+# ---------------
+# If OPENSSL_CMD, GNUTLS_CLI, or GNUTLS_SERV are specified the path must
+# correspond to an executable inside the Docker container. The special
+# values "next" and "legacy" are also allowed as shorthand for the
+# installations inside the container.
+#
+# See also:
+# - scripts/docker_env.sh for general Docker prerequisites and other information.
+# - ssl-opt.sh for notes about invocation of that script.
