Mostly to give a hint to any external tester, in a hope that he or
she takes a look at the failing script before filing a bug.
Wouldn't it be better then to check for this in configure.ac? Or at
least assume the same tools as we use in the Makefiles (awk, cat, cmp,
cp, diff, echo, egrep, expr, false, grep, install-info, ln, ls, mkdir,
mv, printf, pwd, rm, rmdir, sed, sleep, sort, tar, test, touch, tr,
true) and only list what is needed over that?
I'm just concerned that the information will get outdated quickly.
