+       For people with non-standard installations of the auto* utils and of
+       pkg-config (common on misconfigured OSX and windows boxes), you could get
+       an error like this:
+
+       ./configure: line 19176: syntax error near unexpected token `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(BASE_DEPENDENCIES,' ...
+
+       This means that you need to set the ACLOCAL_FLAGS environment var
+       when invoking autogen.sh, like this:
+
+               ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $acprefix/share/aclocal" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/loca
+       
+       where $acprefix is the prefix where aclocal has been installed.
+
        This will automatically go into the mcs/ tree and build the
        binaries there.
