[Vortex] query regarding how to compile libaxl/vortex on various UNIX platforms

[Satish Mittal]

Hi All,

An update on my side from my questions earlier below:

I eventually had to get these packages - automake, autoconf, libtool (and
all their dependent packages) installed with the help of sysadmin on each of
the Unix platforms where I wanted to build these libraries.

I think it would be better if we can get this requirement captured somewhere
as part of doc.

Regards,
Satish M
