I didn't actually have a ticket up for this work yet, but I do now:
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/24919
It provides a simple (arguably...) mechanism for providing per-package
configure-time checks.  I haven't gone and added that for every
package yet though, and it wouldn't be worth trying until an
agreed-upon mechanism is fully implemented first.

But then we could, say, add a configure-time check for readline so
that Sage will stop building its own copy where it isn't necessary to.
