Darwin (OS X):

- an earlier release, and for the most part, do not work well.
- If you are interested in developing under Darwin, we recommend
- that you obtain and install replacement versions of what are

You will note that GNU libtool should actually be installed as
glibtool, to avoid conflict with a Darwin program of the same
name. Pier's packages have this change already. All files are

There have been some reports that autoconf 2.52 prevents Apache's
