Sven, Simon

I've updated the building guide to describe auto*re*conf instead of
autoconf.

I hope I've done it right. Essentially I did s/autoconf/autoreconf.
Things I wasn't quite sure about
- One now invokes autoreconf in the ghc/ sub-directory, not autoconf?
- Are the statements about what autoreconf does, in section 7.4 "Getting
the build you want" still correct?

Do feel free to fix.

| Ok, trying to build from cvs...
| 
| I (think I've) followed the instuctions at
|
http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-cvs.html#CVS-FIRST
| 
| configure.ac references mk/config.h(.in) which doesn't seem to be in
| cvs. http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/mk/
| 
| It seems it was removed
| http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/mk/Attic/config.h.in
| 
| So ./configure reports an error:
| config.status: error: cannot find input file: mk/config.h.in
| 
| If I comment out that bit from configure.ac, then ./configure
completes
| with some warnings.
| 
| either way, make then fails:
| make: *** No rule to make target 'mk/config.h.in', needed by
| 'mk/config.mk'. Stop.
| 
| Am I doing something wrong? I was running autoconf-2.58; ./configure
| from the (renamed as per instructions) fptools directory.
