autotools version skew is always painful for me. Would it be helpful
if I referenced explicit versioned instances of autoconf

Steps such as these are standard anytime one installs libraries into a

It would be nice to find a good way to simplify the task of
downloading, configuring, compiling, and installing the whole family

Looks like xrtest had suffered a little bit rot. Also fixed.

Thanks for your input Trevor.
