definitely a good point.  As it stands now, our bootstrap will *build* 
autotools on systems where the prerequisites are not met, so that's another 
approach.  Regardless, the nightly 'make diet' tarball is not a bad idea 
either…  I can remember a long time ago feeling a little hesitant checking out 
people's svn repos just to try building a code.

I'm sure there will be plenty more discussion on the implementation after I 
merge the branch, which I reiterate will be after we polish the next release.
