I think this note is correct and can be kept, as it explains the 
historical context.

Yes, this would need to be improved.  Currently, sed is only required if 
either selinux or dtrace is enabled, which isn't supported on Windows. 
But we should adjust the build scripts to not fail the top-level setup 
run unless those options are enabled.

gzip is only required for certain test suites, so again we should adjust 
the build scripts to not fail the build but instead skip the tests as 
appropriate.
