Comment #7 on issue 2529 by address@hidden: configure should error  
for any missing software

You wrote: "IMO as long as ../configure --some-kind-of-flag  finishes  
without errors, the documentation and make dist should complete without  
problems."
This can't be so with current GUB, because it bypasses configure for  
documentation build (comment #3); if you (or another developer who builds  
GUB, on my side I won't have any computer available other than an eeePC  
with Intel Atom until several days) can remove "--disable-documentation"  
flag for LilyPond's configure in native build, then I'm happy to put a more  
coherent logic in this configure script.  Otherwise, let's not care about  
tar and gftodvi for now, at least the patch under review is an improvement  
for builds without GUB.
