Cleaner way to not build the ctags that ships with emacs?

Hi all,

I use the Exuberant ctags (now Universal ctags:
https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags ) and whenever I build emacs, as
my emacs bin dir is put at a higher precedence (as I want my built emacs
binary to shadow the default emacs binary), the emacs ctags also shadows
the universal ctags binary.

So I have this hack in my emacs build script (csh).

    if ( -e ${MY_EMACS_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/ctags ) then
        \mv ${MY_EMACS_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/ctags
${MY_EMACS_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/ctags_emacs
    endif
    if ( -e ${MY_EMACS_INSTALL_DIR}/share/man/man1/ctags.1.gz ) then
        \mv ${MY_EMACS_INSTALL_DIR}/share/man/man1/ctags.1.gz
${MY_EMACS_INSTALL_DIR}/share/man/man1/ctags_emacs.1.gz
    endif

Is there a clean way to prevent the building of emacs ctags binary and man
pages attogether? May be a configure option?
