Use autoconf 2.50 and no earlier. Also, try having automake 1.5 and libtool
1.4.1 at least.
You will need perl to generate the src/hugehelp.c file. The file
src/hugehelp.c.cvs is a one-shot file that you can rename to src/hugehelp.c if
you really can't generate the true file yourself!

REQUIREMENTS
You need the following software installed:
o autoconf 2.50 (or later)
o automake 1.5 (or later)
o libtool 1.4 (or later)
o GNU m4 (required by autoconf)
o nroff + perl (if you don't have nroff and perl and you for some reason
don't want to install them, you can rename the source file
src/hugehelp.c.cvs to src/hugehelp.c and avoid having to generate this
file. This will of course give you an older version of the file that isn't
up-to-date. That file was checked in once and won't be updated very
regularly.)
MAC OS X
For Mac OS X users, Guido Neitzer write down the following step-by-step guide:
1. Install fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net)
2. Update fink to the newest version (with the installed fink)
3. Install the latest version of autoconf, automake and m4 with fink
4. Install version 1.4.1 of libtool - you find it in the "unstable" section
(read the manual to see how to get unstable versions)
5. Get cURL from the cvs
6. Build cURL with "./buildconf", "./configure", "make", "sudo make install"
