Thanks a lot, will apply. I would move the man directory under the doc
directory though.

The necessary versions of the autotools are the one in Debian Sarge, and
their version is given in README.INSTALL:
o autoconf 2.59
o automake 1.9.5
o aclocal 1.9.5
o libtool 1.5.6

If you want to regenerate the autotools files, you may enable the
"maintainer mode" in Xenomai configuration or run 
script/bootstrap (you have to run it under the sim directory too).

autoreconf does not work because it greps the flags to be passed to
aclocal by looking for the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS variable definition in the
top Makefile, but there is no top Makefile in Xenomai, only a top
GNUmakefile. I tracked down this issue and changed my autoreconf
script a long time ago but am using the bootstrap script now... Automake
maintainer mode, on the other hand, works fine with makefiles called
GNUmakefile.
