The exact point where I read this is section 7.4 (Programs and libraries), 
rith at the end of the section.  It may be that I misunderstood something so 
you might want to take a look.

Also, I am using version 1.3 of the autobook (hopefully it's not very 
outdated). The footer of the pages mentions "This document was generated by 
Gary V. Vaughan on May, 24 2001 using texi2html".
