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.
