There is also a {Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.} binding for {libpq, libmysql,
libpng, libyaml, libssl, libgmp, etc.}, each as a separately
downloadable and buildable package. I don't think anyone has ever
seriously considered a system by which if, say, you have Python and
libyaml installed, pyyaml magically appears. Might be nice, but maybe
not. The solution, in practice, is that you download pyyaml, and it
pulls in any required dependencies. This would work the same way.
