+ Autotools (<code class="filename">autoconf</code>, <code class="filename">automake</code>,
+ and <code class="filename">libtool</code>) bring standardization.
+ This class defines a set of tasks (configure, compile etc.) that
+ work for all Autotooled packages.
+ It should usually be enough to define a few standard variables
+ and then simply <code class="filename">inherit autotools</code>.
+ This class can also work with software that emulates Autotools.
+ For more information, see the
+ "<a class="link" href="../dev-manual/usingpoky-extend-addpkg-autotools.html" target="_self">Autotooled Package</a>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It's useful to have some idea of how the tasks defined by this class work
+ and what they do behind the scenes.
