The build system also depends on gcc, ld, as, sed, cat, mv, ...
I think patch is a core tool in any sane Linux setup.

If you send us a patch to automatically look for g++ and the X11
libraries, and print a warning and bail if they are missing, then
we'll be happy to check it in. This will depend on a text editor and
on 'diff'. :-)

I have in mind something like the docs/check_pgs script which is
called from the 'docs' target in the root Makefile and will bail from
building the docs if the script fails.
