 Developer note:  When building from CVS sources, you will need to run
 autogen.sh to generate the build system files.
 
-Unfortunately, there is a bug in automake which causes it to use a large
-amount of memory when generating plugins/Makefile.in.  The following patch,
-which you may wish to apply to automake (version 1.4), fixes this problem.
-It is also fixed in versions of automake 1.4f and later.
-Alternatively, ensure that you have at least 512Mb of memory on your system,
-and be prepared to wait a little while when running automake (or autogen.sh).
+GStreamer is cutting-edge stuff.  To be a CVS developer, you need 
+cutting-edge tools.
 
-The autogen.sh script will automatically detect an unpatched automake and give
-a warning.  It will also generate a patched version of automake in the top
-build directory, which you can use by putting it in a directory in your $PATH
-ahead of the unpatched version of automake.

-* autoconf testing :
-
-- SDL : seems to be ok now, test
-- rtp : weird problem, can't get it to work with AC_CHECK_HEADER(S)
-- arts : rh72 has artsflowh. in /usr/include/kde/arts
