I tend to agree that if you can yum install it (or equivalent for your favorite distro), then it shouldn't be checked into the repo. There are some fairly standard ways of making the build system robust enough to check the versions of the tools that it is using. That along with a README that lists the required packages can also go a long way, and is really what most people expect.
I can get rid of most of this by asking people to install xsltproc and Apache FOP 0.95.
To build the documents, they still need the docbook DTDs and XSL stylesheets. They can yum install them, the build system needs to know where they are. Or I could do what the AMQP spec does and use rsync to install the stylesheets if they are not present.
