More or less everyone started like this. Just jump in and give it a
try. As you can see we have some helpful people here around.

I suggest to grep around Mk/*linux* for such linux-specific stuff. Most
likely you will find places where they are used. Maybe you can deduvt
from there if they are needed in your Makefile, or to what they should
be set to.

Yes. You only need to change the value of DESCR in the Makefile, if you
want to use another (generated) file.
