+## When building Kaleidoscope, the compiled object files are linked together
+## into a static archive. This static archive has a very simple structure, and
+## only stores filenames, not paths, not even relative ones. As such, we can't
+## have files with the same name, because they will conflict, and one will
+## override the other.
+##
+## To avoid this situation, this script will find all cpp source files (we don't
+## need to care about header-only things, those do not result in an object
+## file), and will comb through them to find conflicting filenames.
+##
+## If a conflict is found, it will print all files that share the name, and will
+## exit with an error at the end. It does not exit at the first duplicate, but
+## will find and print all of them.
+##
+## If no conflict is found, the script just prints its status message and exits
+## with zero.
