Should there be BuildRequires for perl/libtool/auto*?

[Toshio]

Hi, I'm fighting with BuildRequires here and was wondering about the
auto* family of tools.  configure checks for them at build time and
during builds of some packages.  Are these tools actually needed for
the package to build (ie: should they be a BuildRequire?)

A related question:  If I change something up the tool chain (A
configure.in or Makefile.am) should I do my auto*'ing inside the .spec
or do it in my work area before hand and create a patch?  The latter
will generate a bigger patch, but it seems cleaner....
