A lot of this is converting http: to https:.
Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and
are not easy to figure out what they were.
Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.
* README-prereq: Update as per the latest required versions
in bootstrap.conf. Also add a missing cd command.
Reported by Aaron Davies
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15612
* README-hacking: Add a little more high level info and
merge notes on specific developer prerequisites into README-prereq
* README-prereq: Remove the Fedora 8 specific information
and generalize the information to be applicable to any system.
* README-prereq: Mention new requirement on automake-1.11,
with its new location and updated dependency on autoconf-2.62.
Remove the reference to coreutils-7.0 so that this file
implicitly refers to the latest or release version of coreutils.
Fix and clarify the instructions for updating the $PATH.

* README-prereq: Reverse order of -b/--track options.
Pádraig Brady mentioned that is required with at least git-1.5.3.6.
Invoke automake's own bootstrap script.
* README-prereq: coreutils currently requires an unreleased
version of Automake, so mention the minimum version of Autoconf
required to build that. Suggestion from James Youngman.
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710>
* README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as
as optional requirements rather than in their own sections.
Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions.
* README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions
for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes
for Fedora linux.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required.
* bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools,
and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.
