Comment:

 I suppose that we could add a bunch of stuff to 'autogen.sh' to detect
 various missing autotools components, and detect the operating system, and
 prompt the user telling them how to get the right packages ... but I
 dunno.  It seems like a fairly large amount of fiddly error-prone hard-to-
 test work for comparatively little benefit.

 Now, fixing it upstream in "autoregen", so that the errors _there_ are
 always helpful... that would sure rock.
