Yes because then contributors can actually make changes to the 
environment through the config files. Not like the stone-age 
autotester.

This doesn't ensure the proper tools are installed. Like for 
example, if you wanted to build DMD with LDC2. Can't do that 
unless you have LDC2 installed on the machine. Can't install LDC2 
on the machine without having access to it to do so.

It'll literally be playing trial and error either way to ensure 
it is working, without something that is being used.

Those patch just, yah... I don't even know what to say about 
that. Hell of a workaround.
