Isn't this what configure is for so people actually have the libraries they
need. I know when working with code bases like android, chrome, and OE they
all warn you if you don't have the libraries that you need before you compile
it.

That is a good idea and I just now looked into it. Unfortunately I could not
find an easy way to do this. It's easy to check for a program, but not so easy
to check for a particular version without writing some M4.
Maybe I'll just make a note in the NEWS file or in the release announcement.
Thanks
