+  AUTHOR:  ade@FreeBSD.org
+
+Extensive reworking of the autotools ports has occurred, putting them in
+the canonical locations, along with a suitable wrapper port to make
+developing autotools-using code (as opposed to just building ports)
+considerably easier.
+
+Upgrade path is as follows for portupgrade, substitute the appropriate
+commands if you are using portmaster:
+
+   1.   portupgrade -f 'autoconf*' 'automake*'
+   2.   cd /usr/ports/devel/autotools; make install
+   3.   portupgrade -a
+
+The second step is optional, but is recommended to bring in all versions
+of autoconf and automake.
