I think that William had package-specific build time dependencies in mind.

As a general approach, I think that we could start offloading bits of
functionality from Make to separate executables.  For example:
gar/bin/build-time-dep-test <list of deps>.

The choice would largely depend on language expressiveness.  If it's
easy to clean to code in Make, fine.  If it's not, write a separate
tool in a language of choice (shell/Perl/Python) and call it from
Make.
