Package made by: Chris Roberts
Extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically
configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the
packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user
intervention. Autoconf requires GNU m4. You must install GNU m4 before
configuring autoconf, so that Autoconf's configure script can find it. The
configuration scripts produced by auto conf are self-contained, so their
users do not need to have autoconf or GNU m4.
