If you use the CVS archive, you have to have all the maintainer-type
tools.  I only check in the ultimate sources to CVS, not any of the
files that can be generated automatically.

If you use the tar file distributions of the bleeding-edge sources,
you shouldn't need things like gperf, autoconf, autoheader, makeinfo,
etc.
