In my quest to become at one with Debian :-) I'm trying to learn to use the GNU Autotools, but I'm seem to be going around in circles... There's lots of documentation out there (see below), but it's either out of date eg [1], contradictory, just gives "magic recipes", or may as well be written in "Chef" (bork, bork):

Can someone explain the relationship between aclocal, libtoolize, automake, autoscan, autoheader, and autoconf, and the order I should be learning/using them in?
