1. automake depends on autoconf and autoconf test suites depends on

I would personally add autoconf to /tools, but that's pretty unlikely
given autoconf's tenuous state in the book already.
Eek. Do you feel that it's worth that?
Nah, probably not for the book. In general, I don't mind adding stuff
to /tools. After getting bent over by gcc and glibc for multiple
hours, I don't see the harm in tossing one more tiny package on the
heap. But, in this case, I think a note should suffice.
Autoconf itself certainly is just a tiny package, but it also requires
several additional Perl modules that are not currently not built there.
I'll try to quantify how much missing the different packages affects
the test coverage. Unless Chris has done this already.
