-### Regenerating Source Files ###
-
-Some of Google Mock's source files are generated from templates (not
-in the C++ sense) using a script. A template file is named FOO.pump,
-where FOO is the name of the file it will generate. For example, the
-file `include/gmock/gmock-generated-actions.h.pump` is used to generate
-`gmock-generated-actions.h` in the same directory.

-Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files,
-unless you need to modify them. In that case, you should modify the
-corresponding `.pump` files instead and run the 'pump' script (for Pump
-is Useful for Meta Programming) to regenerate them. You can find
