ERROR: Your version of the `aclocal' tool is too old.
       Minimum version 1.10.1 is required (yours is version 1.10).
       Please upgrade or use the ACLOCAL variable to point to a more
recent one.

Considering that every release of Mac OS and Xcode (up to now) do not
include what is needed to build freetype CVS, might I suggest that this
deserves an explicit mention in README.CVS?

Alas, all I wanted to do was see if 2.3.8 built (before you released
it).  But I guess I have my answer. :)  Installing all those things is
not something I have time for right now I'm afraid... Is there no way to
build freetype with the tools Apple provides?
