[svn] README.cvs: Falsely claimed you only needed GNU autoconf to build from the CVS

Important note:
To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the CVS tree does not
contain automatically generated files, even when those are normally
present in the distribution tarballs. All of these are recreated by
the build process, except for `configure', which is needed to start
the build in the first place.
contain automatically-generated files, even when those files are
normally present in the distribution tarballs.
To build Wget from the CVS sources, all you need aside from the normal
C development tools (make, cc) is Autoconf, which you can get from
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html>. Wget does not
use Automake or Libtool, so you needn't worry about those.
Therefore, if you're building from the CVS sources, you'll need to
have GNU autoconf, gettext, and texinfo installed on your machine
(these do the afore-mentioned automatic generation). The three
packages are available from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/<package>/> and
its mirrors (please choose one close to you), listed at
<http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.
For your convenience, Makefile.cvs is a make file containing the
necessary preparations, which currently amount to calling Autoconf.
Invoke it with `make -f Makefile.cvs', and after that you're ready to
build Wget in the normal fashion, e.g. with `./configure' followed by
`make'.
In case you aren't used to running autoconf manually to generate the
necessary configure script, a file called Makefile.cvs has been
provided, and may be called using `make -f Makefile.cvs'. Once the
Makefile has called autoconf to generate the configure script, you can
build in the usual fashion.
The simplest example of downloading and building Wget from CVS can
look like this:
To summarize, once you've checked out wget from the CVS archive
(instructions for which can be found on the Development page of the
Wget website), the commands you'll execute will be as follows (barring
any extra options to `configure' or to the second `make'):
cvs -d :pserver:... checkout wget
cd wget
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make
The instructions that explain how to check out Wget from CVS in the
first place are available at <http://sunsite.dk/wget/> under
"Development".
