 If you want to hack on the GLib project, you'll need to have the
 following packages installed:
 
-        - GNU autoconf 2.62
-        - GNU automake 1.11
-        - GNU libtool 2.2

+To compile a Git version of glib on your system, you will need to take
 several steps to setup the tree for compilation.  You can do all these
 steps at once by running:
 
-        checkout/glib# ./autogen.sh
-
-Basically this does the following for you:
-
-        checkout/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf
-
-        The above commands create the "configure" script.  Now you
-        can run the configure script in checkout/glib to create all
-        the Makefiles.
-
-Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
-in your path.
-
-Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you.  If you wish to pass
-options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
-to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.
