in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
future plans, etc., please see http://www.gnome.org/start/2.4/.

Without these contirbuters, and our faithful users, GNOME 2.4.0 would not
be possible.
Please check the FreeBSD GNOME site for any FreeBSD gotchas, as well as
general FAQs and documentation (GNOME 2.4 updates to be posted soon). The
best way to upgrade so that you get all shared library dependencies is:
portupgrade -rf -m BATCH=yes atk
portupgrade -R -m BATCH=yes gnome2

Requested by: re as well as many other users
Remove USE_AUTOMAKE and but back explicit dependency to devel/automake.
These ports aren't intended to be configured by automake, which USE_AUTOMAKE
does automagically. Instead they are just using some files from
${LOCALBASE}/share/automake.
