    hacking: simplify documentation of bootstrapping process
    
    * HACKING (Working with git): Do not suggest that, to ensure the
    bootstrapping process is performed with the latest autotools, the
    developer could explicitly pass $AUTOCONF and $AUTOM4TE in the
    environment to the ./bootstrap and ./configure invocations: that
    is a little tricky and quite fragile.  Instead, suggest to just
    put modern-enough version of the autotools early in PATH.

   be the same as you would get if you install this version of
   automake and use it to generate those files.  Be sure to have the

-  not installed as "autoconf", pass it explicitly (along with the
-  accompanying "autom4te") when calling 'bootstrap' and 'configure'.
-  For example:
-    $ AUTOCONF=autoconf2.68 AUTOM4TE=autom4te2.68 ./bootstrap
-    $ ./configure AUTOCONF=autoconf2.68 AUTOM4TE=autom4te2.68
+  latest stable version of Autoconf installed and available early

   directories should be up to date in the git repository, so that
