Doing the above steps on CentOS 6 (with its somewhat older
autotools / libtools suite) is preferred; newer systems generate
``configure`` and ``Makefile`` scripts that tend to rebuild
themselves rather frequently. It might be possible to address this
problem (and graduate to newer autotools) by using
``AC_MAINTAINER_MODE`` but there's a fair amount of religion
associated with this.
These steps should be done on a platform with a relatively recent
version of autotools / libtools. Examples are MacOS / MacPorts or
FreeBSD. The versions of these tools in CentOS 6 are somewhat
older and probably should be avoided.

download site. Currently this is located on ``stats.es.net``.
