In the hopefully not too distant future I intend to remove the following packages from the system set:

   sys-devel/autoconf
   sys-devel/automake
   sys-devel/bison
   sys-devel/flex
   sys-devel/m4

The rationale is that these packages are purely build dependencies for all packages in system and very few packages need them at run-time. Hence a system that doesn't build packages locally should be able to do
without them.

It will obviously require that all dependencies upon these packages get stated explicitly which is why I
won't remove them right away.
