I think that doing this would likely create dependency-hell for the  
person utilizing the tool - whereas the current system works very  
well, if extremely manually. That it works is, of course, the most  
important part.

In fact, it's so simple that it works so solidly that it's a simple  
thing to automate, excepting the formatting, which is fairly  
willy-nilly. I think keeping it that way (simple - not willy-nilly) is  
highly desirable, and I think that the sort of dependency-checking  
that starts mucking with optional stuff and concerning itself with  
system packages is not something I care to try to deal with.
