   How else to test whether this is needed?  I'm okay with having
   "--without-ctags" with no test, but then the default will have to be
   to install our ctags.  With the test, we could refrain from installing
   it if the test says so.

I think that is a good idea.  The ones suggesting to "DWIM" magic are
prone for error and confusion, if you _really_ need to install ctags
(or etags) as something else, ./configure already supports the means
for that.
