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'm also okay with leaving things as they are now, obviously, if this
change brings more problems than it solves.  I don't consider the
current situation bad enough to necessitate any changes.
