Warning: It has just been discovered that this release does not  
contain the deprecated autotools build system (i.e. ./configure won't  
work). As this system is deprecated we encourage users to migrate to  
the new cmake build system. However, this removal was accidental and  
the autotools build system will be available in future releases (at  
least for a while).
