21 # script does what running `autoreconf -i` in an Autoconf git checkout
22 # would do, except that it uses autoconf from the source tree we are
23 # preparing, not any version of autoconf that might or might not be
24 # installed already. Note that automake, Perl, and GNU M4 _are_
25 # required to be installed already.
