Ideally, something that is required for building 'make dist' or 'make
rpm' should be required by bootstrap (autogen.sh uses bootstrap.conf to
require minimum versions of maintainer-only tools); but if they are
optional when building from a tarball, then they should not be required
by configure (but configure should still check for them, and we should
do a better job of cleanly skipping rather than erroring if an optional
build component is not present when building from tarball).
