2008-10-22	Add better checks and docs for build tools	Pádraig Brady
	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.
2008-07-04	* README-hacking: Update the section on LZMA.	Jim Meyering

2008-01-22	* README-hacking: Update to reflect existence of automake-1.10.1.	Jim Meyering

2007-10-24	Doc improvements.	Jim Meyering
	* README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands, e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull". Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too. * README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions. From Bob Proulx.
