I think it is simple enough as > --disable-tools configure option. Well, for build systems, it is a bit more common to have top-level configure options to adjust what needs to be built or not built, having to do a configure only into some subdirectory is a little bit less convenient, and the proposed patch is quite minimal. On a related topic, would you accept a patch that allows to disable the build/installation of gettext-tools tests and examples? Thanks!
