Hi,

What do you think about putting optional (available from SBo) dependencies in the info file?
I think that would allow for further automation.

What I have noticed is that, it's sometimes hard to go through the README and spot all the optional deps, because everybody writes README as she/he sees fit.

Also, I don't know how, but it could be possibly worth if all the variables (like ENABLE_FOO=yes, DISABLE_BAR=no) could be gathered in one well structured place.

This thoughts came to me when I wanted to build 'ffmpeg'. Well, not all of those thoughts, because SlackBuild for 'ffmpeg' is actually well written.

But if some more rigid structure, possibly easily understood by computers, was enforced, it could make users' life easier.

What do you think?
