# FIXME: This entire script should be unnecessary.  It exists because we don't
# use git submodules in libretro/RetroArch, which introduces one of three
# possible build dependencies:
#
# 1. The user is using libretro-super.  But libretro-super is not supposed to
#    be required because "no dependencies!"
#
# 2. Unreasonable expectations of the user: That they are deeply versed in the
#    changing inner workings of a massively-multi-platform project with dozens
#    of modules and submodules, or that they are somehow psychic.
#
# 3. The user has a script which cannot depend on libretro-super to fetch the
#    submodules for them.  This is it.
#
# The third choice is the path of least resistance, but the correct solution
# is to fix the submodules issue.
