Just had another idea, for stuff like emacs-alpha, add an alpha variant, 
with a different version number, and make it non-default <version 
name="alpha" default="false">, so:

if default is true, ask user if they want to install dependencies.
if default is undef, install if all dependencies are already installed.
if default is false, only ask user if '-ask' is specified on the command 
line.

Also, for different variants, instead of trying to piece together some 
scripts and stuff ourselves, we could use diff, and have the main 
version directly under <package> and then
<variant name="ssl">
        <compilescript type="diff"/>
</variant>
<variant name="alpha">
        <compilescript type="replace"/>
</variant>
