-      <para>The various GNU autotools provide an abstraction

-	variety of operating systems and machine architectures.
-	Within the Ports Collection, an individual port can make use
-	of these tools via a simple construct:</para>

-	<literal>aclocal14</literal>.</para>
-
-      <para><replaceable>env</replaceable> is used to specify that the
-	environmental variables are needed.  It also adds a build
-	dependency on the tool.  The relevant tool is
-	<emphasis>not</emphasis> ran as part of the
-	<buildtarget>run-autotools</buildtarget> target.</para>

-      <para>Multiple tools can be specified at once, either by
-	including them all on a single line, or using the

-	library package, which is part of the
-	<command>libtool</command> suite.  Use of this library does
-	not automatically necessitate the use of

-	<filename>Makefile</filename>.</para>

-      <para>Similarly, packages occasionally do not ship with
-	an included <filename>aclocal.m4</filename>, again
-	required to build the software.  This can be achieved with
-	<command>aclocal</command>, which scans

-	overridden by the port <filename>Makefile</filename> if
-	required.</para>
