    <para><application>HTML Tidy</application> tarballs are no longer generated
    by the maintainers. To build from source, the
    <application>HTML Tidy</application> developers recommend using current
    CVS. The source tarball shown above was created by the BLFS team by pulling
    a CVS version, then generating the autotool components and documentation.
    BLFS made no changes to the existing source files.</para>
