It has been some time, but I am still doubtful about certain things. I
find that 'valgrind' is necessary to use 'make check' to test the
build. However what about the others, are they also necessary in some
section of the "./configure && make && make check && make install"
dance? It seems not. So why are they still being checked for in the
configure script, when run from the released tarball?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
