Rebuilding autoconf and automake code

If you need to build the autoconf/automake code for development purposes, use the following process
First you must have automake, autoconf, and m4 installed on your machine. (Follow this install order)
- m4: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/
- Autoconf: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/
- Automake: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/
Once those are installed, read on
The package includes a (very very simple) bootstrap script. To setup the build system you simply need to run "./bootstrap" from the root of the project. If you plan to make changes to any Makefile.am or to configure.ac, you can theoretically rebuild using that, but it might waste some time. If you're changing the build system, it might be best to look at the Autoconf and Automake docs.
