At the moment I'm not sure where the real problem is (or isn't).

I have the current software project almost building using 2.54 and pre-1.7,
ylwrap is not present and is not being missed.

Under 1.5, ylwrap was not being auto-installed, but Somebody was complaining
that it did not exist.  We got around this problem by forcing an install of
ylwrap, and the original problem may have been that "Somebody" was looking
for ylwrap when it wasn't really needed.

I should know more about this (potential) problem when I can finish more of
the build using the latest auto* tools.
