The INSTALL file is out of date; it refers to ancient versions of autotools: You need to have automake, autoconf, and libtool installed on your system in order to set up the build environment. Known versions that work are automake 1.4, autoconf 2.13, and libtool 1.2f. I think we have reached the point where it is reasonable to require autoconf 2.5x, automake 1.8ish, and libtool 1.4 or 1.5. It is arguably more reasonable to require those than autoconf213 or automake14, which are at least on NetBSD systems typically not installed unless needed to support old software. The good news is that lwp seems to work (with warnings) with the modern autotools. I did the following which enabled a build, but I got some complaints from libtoolize (and did --force). testlwp worked.
