I think that would be swinging the pendulum too much back.  We would not want to
require users to rebuild their copy of systemtap if they became aware of things
they were missing like ... documentation.

What we certainly need is a more careful autoconfing so that everything that is
buildable will build, and nothing else is attempted.
