Seeing an existing example would really help to justify the additional complexity.

Such problem smells like equivalent to bootstrapping distro from scratch problem.  And what
I see from the recent movement out there (non-RPM world), bootstrapping is rather ignored
in language stacks since if you build something once, you don't have a reason to bootstrap
again.  That said, I *don't* view automatic bulid-requires generator as something difficult to
hack on, maintain, or use; the "looping" would certainly go against simplicity.  Anyways, no
strong disagreement here :-)
