Run the test suite for libtool, autoconf and automake and create a wiki tracking page similar to the one for Python http://ports.haiku-files.org/wiki/PythonRegressionTests

You'll need a clean install of Haiku for this task.  Then you'll need to install HaikuPorter and use it to build each of the packages, start with libtool, then autoconf and automake.  Once each one is done building you'll be able to run the test suite.  The test suite may take an hour or more to complete.  Once it's done running you should have log files that can be used for putting together a wiki page with the results.  Contact scottmc to get an account setup on HaikuPorts so that you can edit the wiki page(s).  This task should take about 2 hours for each of the 3 items so about 6 hours altogether, plus an hour or two to get up to speed on using HaikuPorter.
