Personally, I feel the build system is complex enough without trying to make it a package manager as well. Hopefully someone will feel motivated enough now Haiku has become so close to the alpha that he/she will implement some proper package management :PPerhaps add in the opposite functionality with something like HAIKU_ADD_ALL_OPTIONAL_PACKAGES_EXCEPT That way you could just list the packages you don't want installed, which would likely be a smaller list, and would also then pick up any newly added packages.
