I don't think that's a good idea. If at all, add that info to a new file. A lot of projects use HACKING for info that is relevant to developers who are compiling from CVS. Adding a note about autogen.sh to the README leads to people running autogen.sh in an unpacked release tarball. If the auto tools aren't setup properly (which isn't uncommon), doing so may lead to a corrupted configure script and/or broken Makefiles. The users than show up here and report weird build problems. May not have happened for DirectFB but I've made this experience in other projects. Sven
