New description:

 There are some options available to run configuration script generators
 before configure.

  * use_autoconf
  * use_autoreconf
  * use_automake
  * use_xmkmf

 All of them require tools to be provided by the system or to be installed
 by MacPorts.

 Currently, the dependencies are added in each Portfile using such an
 option, but it would be better to do it automatically.
