byacc:    Berkeley Yacc
byacc:
byacc:    Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator.  Berkeley Yacc
byacc:    has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc.  Berkeley
byacc:    Yacc can accept any input specification that conforms to the AT&T
byacc:    Yacc documentation.  Specifications that take advantage of 
byacc:    undocumented features of AT&T Yacc will probably be rejected.
byacc:    If you skip this package and install GNU bison, a /usr/bin/yacc
byacc:    shell script will be created which will allow you to use bison
byacc:    instead. (It contains 'bison -y $*')

m4:       GNU m4 1.4
m4:
m4:       This is release 1.4 of GNU m4, a program which copies its input to the
m4:       output, expanding macros as it goes.  m4 has built-in functions for
m4:       including named files, running Unix commands, doing integer 
m4:       arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways, recursion, etc...  
m4:       Macros can also be user-defined, and can take any number of arguments.

terminfo: Complete /usr/share/terminfo database.
terminfo:
terminfo: This is the the master terminfo database maintained by Eric Raymond.
terminfo: This database is the official descendant of the 4.4BSD termcap file,
terminfo: and includes information about virtually every terminal known.  The
terminfo: ncurses libraries use this database to adjust screen output for the
terminfo: terminal type in use.  Unless you're allowing logins from terminal
terminfo: types other than the Linux console, xterms, or vt100 terminals, you
terminfo: probably won't need this database - a minimal /usr/share/terminfo with
terminfo: support for those types is included in the ncurses package.

autoconf: GNU autoconf 2.13
autoconf:
autoconf: Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell
autoconf: scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
autoconf: These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like
autoconf: systems without manual user intervention.  Autoconf creates a
autoconf: configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
autoconf: operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4
autoconf: macro calls.
autoconf: You must install the "m4" package to be able to use autoconf.
autoconf:
automake: GNU automake 1.4
automake:
automake: This is Automake, a Makefile generator.  It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
automake: make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
automake: GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.
automake: Automake is a Perl script.  The input files are called Makefile.am.
automake: The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
automake: with Autoconf.  Automake requires certain things to be done in your
automake: configure.in.
automake: You must install the "m4" and "perl" packages to be able to use
automake: automake.
libtool:  GNU libtool 1.2
libtool:
libtool:  This is GNU Libtool, a generic library support script. Libtool hides
libtool:  the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable
libtool:  interface.  To use libtool, add the new generic library building
libtool:  commands to your Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am.  See the
libtool:  documentation for details.

lthreads: LinuxThreads 0.7.1
lthreads:
lthreads: Implementation of POSIX 1003.1c-compliant threads library for Linux
lthreads: by Xavier Leroy.
lthreads:
lthreads: LinuxThreads provides kernel-level threads: each thread is a separate
lthreads: Unix process, sharing its address space with the other threads through
lthreads: the new system call clone(). Scheduling between threads is handled by
lthreads: the kernel scheduler, just like scheduling between Unix processes.
