+Since the CVS tree is arranged for the convenience of the developers,

+dependency management.  You will also need to install autoconf,
+automake, and libtool; the recommended versions are listed in HACKING.

 To check out a CVS working directory:
 
 1) Install CVS version 1.9 or later on your system.

 2) Log into the CVS server:
-     $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@egcs.cygnus.com:/egcs/carton/cvsfiles login
-   At the prompt for `CVS password:', type `anoncvs'.

+    $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs login

+   At the prompt for `CVS password:', simply press the enter key.
    Once you have logged in, your password is saved in ~/.cvspass, and you
    will not need to enter it again.

-- Why does the build process try to run autoconf, aclocal, or automake?

-  It shouldn't; if it does, that's a bug, I think.  Those are the
-  tools we use to generate `configure', `aclocal.m4', and the
-  `Makefile.in' files from their respective sources.  Ideally, you
-  shouldn't need to have them installed, if you don't want to change
-  those sources.  If you do, see the section in `README' called
-  `Hacking It Yourself'.
