Comment(by robe):

 I think make check is something people would want to do anyway regardless
 if they are building comments or note.  I'm thinking with my package
 maintainer hat on.

 As a package maintainer
 1) want to be able to build from the tar ball and not have to have
 requirements that are not necessary. e.g if comments is the same across
 all OS, it should be in the tar ball and if extensions are the same across
 all OS it should be in the tar ball.

 xsltproc is not so bad except for that nasty MathML junk (that is hard to
 configure). If the whole purpose is to build comments, I really shouldn't
 be required to sacrifice a goat just to do a make check.

 2) I would want to be able to do make check to make sure my package is
 sound.
