/** \page Page_BuildSystem The LUFA Build System

* \section Sec_BuildSystem_Overview Overview of the LUFA Build System
- * The LUFA build system is an attempt at making a set of re-usable, modular build make files which
- * can be referenced in a LUFA powered project, to minimize the amount of code required in an
- * application makefile. The system is written in GNU Make, and each module is independent of
- * one-another.
+ * The LUFA build system was originally an attempt at making a set of
+ * re-usable, modular build make files which could be referenced in a LUFA
+ * powered project, to minimize the amount of code required in an
+ * application makefile.
+ *
+ * As it turned out to be fairly generic in nature, it was split out into its
+ * own separate project, called DMBS (<i>Dean's Makefile Build System</i>)
+ * which is released into the public domain. LUFA specific portions of the
+ * LUFA build system extend DMBS, and provide a universal build system for all
+ * LUFA projects.
+ *
+ * The latest DMBS project information can be found at:
+ * https://github.com/abcminiuser/dmbs
+ *
+ * DMBS is written in GNU Make, and each module is independent of one-another.

+ * \section SSec_BuildSystem_Using Using the LUFA Build System
*
* For details on the prerequisites needed for Linux and Windows machines to be able to use the LUFA
* build system, see \ref Sec_CompilingApps_Prerequisites.
