Run 'autoconf' and, when needed, 'aclocal', 'autoheader', 'automake', 'autopoint' (formerly
'gettextize'), 'libtoolize', 'intltoolize', and 'gtkdocize' to regenerate the GNU Build System files in
specified DIRECTORIES and their subdirectories (defaulting to '.').
By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their sources. If you install new versions
of the GNU Build System, you can make 'autoreconf' remake all of the files by giving it the '--force'
option.
