+   You should also have libtool-1.4.3 and autoconf-2.5x installed
+   from source.   It is important that you do not use distribution
+   shipped versions of this software as they are often patched in
+   ways that are not portable.

    Also, see sections 'Building the Latest Source under Unix' and

    detailed build information.

+   from the .zip packaging of Apache.  Additionally you'll want to 
+   also include the apr-iconv directory from right next to apr-util in
+   the Apache zip file.  See INSTALL, section I.1, for details.
