Ok, read through the whole thread.  My comments:

with_foo() and without_foo() are hooks in Recipe.  foo should be
general (gtk) and not specific (gmplayer).  I guess that matches
package level rather than application.  Maybe a few umbrella ones like
x11 or gui.

Saw some references to using with_foo() as a bool to test if Package
is available.  Can't be a hook and a bool.  The bool is better as a
function that takes the package name as an arg.

Need a way to specify minimal, official (matches bin packages),
suggested, optional dependencies.  Separate files in Resources?  INI
sections?

How does user specify use flags?  A big conf file in Settings/Compile?
 A global file with per package file to fine tune?  Maybe Compile
--flags for one time tweaks (might not be a good idea.  Leaves no doc
trail).  If the later, a --examine flag would be nice to show whats
available.

What about the case when configure auto detects whats installed?  I
guess that is handled by suggested/option deps lists without the needs
for hooks.
