+<para id="autoconf"><command>autoconf</command> is a tool for producing shell scripts
+that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many
+kinds of Unix-like systems. The configuration scripts it produces are
+independent -- running them does not require the autoconf program.</para>

+<indexterm zone="ch-system-autoconf autoreconf"><primary sortas="b-autoreconf">autoreconf</primary></indexterm>
+<para id="autoreconf"><command>autoreconf</command> comes in handy when there are a lot
+of autoconf-generated configure scripts around. The program runs autoconf and
+autoheader repeatedly (where appropriate) to remake the autoconf configure
+scripts and configuration header templates in a given directory tree.</para>
+
+<indexterm zone="ch-system-autoconf autoscan"><primary sortas="b-autoscan">autoscan</primary></indexterm>
+<para id="autoscan"><command>autoscan</command> can help to create a
+<filename>configure.in</filename> file for a software package. It examines
+the source files in a directory tree, searching them for common portability
+problems and creates a <filename>configure.scan</filename> file that serves as
+as a preliminary <filename>configure.in</filename> for the package.</para>
+
+<indexterm zone="ch-system-autoconf autoupdate"><primary sortas="b-autoupdate">autoupdate</primary></indexterm>

+<para id="ifnames"><command>ifnames</command> can be helpful when writing a
+<filename>configure.in</filename> for a software package. It prints the
+identifiers that the package uses in C preprocessor conditionals. If a package
+has already been set up to have some portability, this program can help to
+determine what <command>configure</command> needs to check. It can fill
+in some gaps in a <filename>configure.in</filename> file generated by
+autoscan.</para>
