A user just reported that my cw rock needs automake to build. I'm not sure
why this hadn't struck me before!

The problem, within luarocks, is that there's no way to express this
dependency.

Is there any standard way to address these sort of out-of-band build
dependencies? (I can't find anything in the docs.)

I guess it would be a start to be able to depend on the existence of a
binary in PATH, and a very close second to have a mechanism for specifying
ways to extract particular binaries' versions and depend on versions as for
libraries.

Apologies if I've overlooked something; I have a feeling I must have…
