BTW, I'm not criticizing the choice to back it out, I think that was the
right move. I just want to know what "bsdar" and "bsdranlib" are
missing... Maybe we can leave the build as-is and default to using the
GNU-variants with the make environment, enabling the user to switch over
to the BSD-licensed implementations at their choosing.
