You only need to install automake and allow for the fact that you need
to use "glibtool" not "libtool".
I know that initially I also installed autoconf and libtool but I'm
afraid that iinstalling the latter might well interfer with Apple's
functionality, since their "libtool" does something different.

I did a Mindy bootstrap using 10.1 on a virgin G4/867 here yesterday.
(4.5 hours, which is a tad slower than my Athlon 700 with Linux --
mostly I think because Apple's gcc is really slow)
