Why?
We try and limit the requirement of external tools for users.
dejagnu/expect/tcl obviously is one that we have accepted for testing
and will continue to expect. I think it is reasonable to say that
testing is a user action, and that we should continue with the idea
that user can run tests without other tools. autogen is a tool
needed by a small subset of gcc developers.
- Requiring autogen to test fixincludes doesn't seem like a big
deal.
Death by a thousand cuts. It is a feature that one need not have
other packages on his system when doing a make check.
