I have some modules that depend on external tools, like ghostscript,

Alien seems to be developed to handle dependencies on external
libraries. Could Alien be used for depending on external tools as

I switched over to Module::Install a while ago, and wrote
Module::Install::GetProgramLocations in order to find compatible versions
of programs like GNU grep during the installation process. If you feel
like drinking the Module::Install kool-aid, I think you might find that it
provides some help.
