-* The future of Recode
+** Maintenance tools
+Beyond the usual Unix programs needed for configuring and installing
+any GNU package, you need Cython, Flex and Python to achieve simple
+modifications to Recode.
+
+For more encompassing modifications, you might also need recent
+versions of Autoconf, automake, Flex, Gettext, Help2man, libtool, m4,
+GNU Make, Perl, tar and wget.  Just make sure you install m4 before
+Autoconf, and Perl before automake or Help2man.  You may also choose

+* The future
 ** Motivation
 Recode is due for a major ovehaul.  My plan is to end the 3.x series
 of this package, rather aiming 4.0 as a major internal rewrite.
