Ok, I'm just a bit slow I guess. "Testing" a dependency I get -- "do we have it?, is it the correct version?" (although methinks that this is the proper domain of the configure script). But "fixing" -- what exactly is this target expected to do? Is this something like Gentoo e-merge -- go fetch all the sources automatically and build them?
