Step 2 would be hard to to automate and some optional dependencies
don't have configure options.  However Martin Jansa recently
contributed scripts/test-dependencies.sh which does repeated builds to
determine if there are any "floating" or missing dependencies, which
can be ran periodically as an audit.
