That's exactly what I mean.
I'm of a similar mind. Though I know people sometimes need to build a
missing helper without overwriting their existing build/install or doing a
full rebuild.
Just off the top of my head; a --helpers-only option to build the helpers
and libraries they depend on. Specifying the helpers as normal in their
--enable-X-helpers=... options would get around this without being too
much of a hack.
