My problem is I don't see how that'd happen in the first place. Who would distribute something they've never compiled? If they compiled it, it would have downloaded the other libs already, so any sane distribution *already* has the dependent libraries, making this whole thing moot. The build tool is meant to help the developer, not the user. If the user needs help, it means the developer didn't do his job properly. That said, the configuration file, as described in my last post, seems like it can solve this easily enough.
