%%name: autoconf

%%short-description: Produces shell scripts which automatically
configure source code.
 
%%full-description: 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 GNUm4 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 sutoconf or GNU m4.
