You won't find any <tt>configure</tt> and a few other things
-(<tt>Makefile.in</tt>'s, documentation, ...) will be missing as
-well. The reason for that is that all these files have to be
-regenerated using the latest versions of <tt>autoconf</tt>,
-<tt>automake</tt> (1.9) and <tt>doxygen</tt>. To generate the
-<tt>configure</tt> and the <tt>Makefile.in</tt>'s, you just have to
-launch the <tt>bootstrap</tt> command that resides in the top of the
-source tree. Then just follow the instructions of Section
-\ref faq_compiling.

We insist on the fact that you really need the latest versions of
autoconf and automake. Doing this step on exotic architectures/systems
on your side... We have plenty of FAQ entries to redact and new
features to implement for the impenitents! ;)

+We have decided to change the units in SimGrid. Now we use Bytes, Flops and
+seconds instead of MBytes, MFlops and seconds... Units should be updated
+accordingly and the version of platform_description should be set to a
+valuer greater than 1:
+\verbatim
+ <platform_description version="1">
+\endverbatim
+You should try to use the surfxml_update.pl script that can be found
