[...]The Hugs libraries build system does autodetection: the packages X11,

they are present, and then build multiple packages (so the basic hugs
package doesn't depend on those libraries). One possibility is hugs-hgl
(X11 and HGL) and hugs-hopengl (OpenGL, GLUT and OpenAL). That groups
together packages with the same author and licence. Another would be
to have 5 extra packages, but that seems overkill.
Hmmm, this sounds a bit strange to me. I think for packaging there are
basically 2 options:
* A single "Sumo" package with everything fptools/libraries can possibly
offer on the given platform, nice for the lazy downloader with DSL or T1. :-)
* Separate packages for each, well, package.
I think the 2nd option is nicer and is the way how a lot of systems are
doing (Perl, PHP, etc.).
Cheers,
