Well, you don't *need* auto{conf,make} even if building packages on the
target machine, of course :-) I still think that auto* and potentially
libtool too, should be punted over to BLFS, but that's largely because
of their horrendously long testsuite times. Well-behaved/correctly
packaged projects should have no need for those packages to be
installed.
