            Bug ID: 226785
           Summary: Porter's Handbook, 6.6 Using GNU Autotools needs to
                    discuss USES= autoreconf
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd at dreamchaser.org

Section 6.6 of the Porter's Handbook discusses the use of USE_AUTOTOOLS, but
makes no mention of the fact that they do nothing unless USES= autoreconf is
also present.

It seems like the general build procedure should insure this automatically, but
it doesn't.
