Hello ports@,
I was working on a port earlier today that configures via GNU autotools.
I needed the `configure` script, which wasn't included. When I grabbed
the sources with `DIST_TUPLE`, `autoconf` didn't seem to generate one.
(spat some really confusing error, unrelated to the ports tree).
*side note: GNU autotools error really suck*
It looked like `CONFIGURE_STYLE = autoreconf` was needed. (which ended
up working fine).
But, what frustrated me was the lack of documentation on this one
specific option. I just grepped the tree to see if that command was
ever used, and sure enough it is a valid (and used) `CONFIGURE_STYLE`.
I dunno, but it seems worthwhile to add this information
to Makefile.template.
Thoughts?
