+
+Here are some hints on how to use autoconf correctly when doing
+BIND 9 development.
+
+Never edit the configure script directly.  Edit configure.in, commit
+the changes, run "autoconf", and commit the new configure.  Doing two
+separate commits ensures that the version numbers embedded in the
+configure script are correct.
+
+Don't edit config.h.in directly.  Instead, run "autoheader".  If it
+complains about missing definitions, add them to acconfig.h, rerun
+autoheader, and commit the generated config.h.in.
