That has been done intentionally in https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebp/+/6fa9fe24828e9b9941e65ca142bbf92af8ea9d4c most likely because all those tools are considered as unstable.
Maybe it is time to revisit that decision. Is there any tool in particular that you need or is that just a semantic issue ?

indeed, libextras is mostly a library to copy-paste the code from, more than a library to install system-wide!

I was thinking more of the extras executables get_disto, vwebp_sdl, webp_quality built, which should be installed by install-exec-am, otherwise what is the point of building them?

These were more examples/developer tools and not something we wanted to support in distributions, though vwebp_sdl might be the most potentially problematic.

Given vwebp_sdl is more of a demo / check for the javascript example and that it doesn't support animation like vwebp, I think we'll stick with not installing it and the other extras.
