compiler runs. This is extremely fast and accurate. There is however

Straight out of CVS you have to initialize autoconf. This requires
automake (I really don't know why) and autoconf and requires doing

Autoconf is configured to do some basic system probes for optional and
required functionality and generate an environment.mak and include/config.h
linking it in. To the fullest extent possible the source code should conform
to standards and not cater to broken systems.
