doc: adjust README-prereq instructions

Browse Source 
* README-prereq: Mention new requirement on automake-1.11,
with its new location and updated dependency on autoconf-2.62.
Remove the reference to coreutils-7.0 so that this file
implicitly refers to the latest or release version of coreutils.
Fix and clarify the instructions for updating the $PATH.

This shows the steps for getting the required tools to build coreutils 7.0
This shows the steps for getting the required tools to build coreutils
on a Fedora 8 system. We try to use official packages where possible.
The 3 methods described for making these required packages available, should
help clarify build requirements on any GNU/Linux system at least.

Note Autoconf 2.61a-341 or newer is needed to build automake-1.10b in step 3.
Note Autoconf 2.62 or newer is needed to build automake-1.11 in step 3.
Apply the same method to install the lzma package.
[FIXME: mention xz when it's packaged]
3. The latest stable automake (1.10.1) was not new enough, so we download
and build automake-1.10b or newer from its repository and make it available
and build automake-1.11 or newer from its repository and make it available
just to coreutils:
# yum install help2man #required to build automake fully
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/automake.git
$ cd automake
$ git checkout -b next --track origin/next
$ git checkout -b branch-1.11 --track origin/branch-1.11
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/coreutils/deps
$ make install
Now we can build coreutils as described in README-hacking
as long as $PATH starts with $HOME/coreutils/deps
as long as $PATH starts with $HOME/coreutils/deps/bin, which
one can set for the current shell like:
$ export PATH=$HOME/coreutils/deps/bin:$PATH
