Harlan - I'm struggling a little to interpret the geek-speak!  Do you mean 
that these extra tools are only required to generate the set of files 
ready to compile (tarball or what I would expect to get as a Zip file 
set), from the repository (which itself would be accessed via a version 
control system)?
