No thanks. Let's work on ways to machine-readably describe more kinds of prerequisite. C library dependencies are currently a pain to deal with, but their names are reasonably invariant, so we could sensibly list them in META in a formal manner. CPAN installation tools should learn to track this sort of dependency and plug into the OS's packaging mechanism. -zefram
