 XpdfTools' README lists which files need to be included as per its license when redistributing xpdf-tools binaries.
 
-Running "./CASCADE-MAKE.sh makedist" does some custom steps to create a distribution tarball of the xpdf-tools we compile up:
-it creates a temporary xpdf-tools subdirectory and copies into it the GSDLOS/bin/pdf* statically linked binaries (or dynamic executables linked
-against mostly static libraries in the case of Macs), the GSDLOS/man folder as well as the "redistribute" folder containing further compulsory
-files as required by xpdf-tools' license.
-This temporary xpdf-tools subfolder is then passed as the whitelist folder to the CASCADE-MAKE makedist command, and this folder and its
-contents are then tarred up into the distribution tarball xpdf-tools-GSDLOS.tar.gz. Finally, the temporary xpdf-tools subfolder is deleted.
+Running "./CASCADE-MAKE.sh makedist" assembles a custom whitelist of files to include in the distribution tarball of the xpdf-tools we compile up.
+
+The files and folders into the distribution tarball xpdf-tools-GSDLOS.tar.gz are:
+- the GSDLOS/bin/pdf* statically linked binaries (or dynamic executables linked against mostly static libraries in the case of Macs),
+- the GSDLOS/man folder as well as the "licence-files" folder containing further compulsory files as required by xpdf-tools' license.
+
+Beware that the cascade-make makedist function always maintains the directory structure of folders but also files included in the whitelist.
+So when untarred, the folder xpdf-tools is produced with subfolders like linux/bin (containing the pdf* binaries), a linux/man subfolder and a
+licence-files subfolder.
