Why? What is the point? Such "atypical" people presumably should have no
difficulty in making sure their homebrew or
macports things don't affect their LibreOffice build. We don't need to expand
the configuration space into several new
dimensions. We don't need a new set of bugs that can be seen only with a
homebrew or macports version X.Y of external
library Z.
Some of us work on other opensource projects on our Mac machines which happen
to need MacPorts or HomeBrew.
Having LibreOffice simply say "I refuse to build on this machine because you've already installed some other stuff" is
not very friendly.
