Reading the build system may help, or trying to build in a very
minimal chroot to see what deps are complained about.

Is there a tool to extract human readable dependencies from a configure.ac ?
I thinks it is here that you can find the most accurate dependencies,
indeed some softs do not have a good README or explanations on their
website...

You're right, configure.ac is a good place to look for dependencies and 
the way the package is supposed to be built. However, this is a manual 
process and as far as I know there isn't an automatic way to extract 
this information.

Not to mention that software uses all sorts of crap now, like scons and cmake :)

[aur-general] depenency checker

[Nathan Owe.]

Is there a tool to find all the depenencies for a PKGBUILD. i know of
namcap, but is there a better one?

Manual labour :)

namcap is already as good as it can be..any better would mean magic. But
soon..soon.
