I think we were discussing python as a dependency when talking about including patch. There was some motion to use hg instead but that introduced circular dependencies on python. To find out what's really needed apart from bash we have to look at prereq and what it is checking for. config.ac in prereq is checking for compilers (c,c++ and fortran), YACC and LEX (or functional equivalents), ar, m4, ranlib, ld, perl-5.8.0+ (for building R). A lot of these will be brought in by the prefix unless we require them and put them in package.provided.
