<pre wrap="">Recommendations
1. We should prereq libtool 2.2 as a minimum (available since 2008).
2. We should prereq autoconf 2.62 as a minimum (available since
2008). Keeps us in the same time period and is required by
automake 1.11.
3. We should prereq automake 1.11 (available since 2009). Keeps us in
the same time period.
If the policy is changed, the wiki will be updated.

<pre wrap="">Let's get started with libtool. No one is objecting to libtool 2.2. It's
been in use for several years.
This will allow fixing some warnings and prevent some errors like having
both AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and LT_INIT statements. It will prevent developers
from wasting time tripping on obsolete code.

while I see this link: it would be a good idea to rename this page to a
generic "how to build". These days, "modular tree" isn't as obvious anymore
since we haven't had the monolithic tree for 7-or-so years.</pre>

There was a hint for the new title in the introduction. Seemed like
a perfect fit.<br>
<blockquote>Introduction<br>

This guide is for developers who wish to <b>build the X Window
System from source</b>. If your area of interest is limited to a
single package, like a driver or an application, check with your
O/S first for development facilities.<br>
