If it finds everything it needs, it will create a file called '!AutoConfig.kmk' containing paths to the various tools on your system. Also, it will create an environment setup script called `env.sh`.  This step only has to be done once (if something changes in your build tool setup, you might have to repeat it but keep in mind that both output files will be overwritten).
