I don't think it should be required, but since part of AmberTools we
develop and release is managed via autotools, I figured it's not a bad
thing to suggest to those users whose added cost is just typing the word
"autoconf" and "automake" to their apt-get/yum/zypper command. Since these
platforms have 'just worked' without needing to modify any parts of the
MTK++ build process, though, it's probably best to omit these from the list
of required programs for Amber... I'll update my Wiki accordingly
All the best,
Jason
