GNU autoconf and GNU automake (use recent versions! autoconf 2.53 and GNU autoconf and GNU automake: at least autoconf 2.61 and automake 1.10 are
automake 1.6.1 are known to work). requird, newer is better. But don't use automake 1.12 or newer for creating
distribution archives: it will work but lack "de-ANSI-fucation" support in the
generated Makefile's! Stick with automake 1.11.x for this purpose ...
So automake 1.11.x and autoconf 2.67+ is recommended.
Again: "end users" do not need this step! Again: "end users" do not need this step and neither need GNU autoconf nor GNU
automake at all!
