+       to develop from CVS needs additional software to be installed. These are the 
+       minimum levels of software required:

+       <literallayout>
+       gnu make 3.79
+       automake 1.6
+       autoconf 2.52
+       gettext 0.11.5
+       </literallayout>

+       ./configure
+       make
+       make install
