I'm still updating my dependency list here -

Unfortunately my network connection died yesterday, and I neglected to
copy this file to my own system (shame on me!) so I couldn't add more
till just now.
Chris, I started updating my sandbox with what's in the file above.
One thing I noticed right off the bat was the deps in automake. So I
groveled through automake source and found that most of the deps are
for the test suite. Maybe this should be noted separately. Here's
the insane list of testsuite deps I came up with:
$ grep -rh '^required' tests | \
sed -e 's/^required=//' -e "s/'//g" -e 's/"//g' -e 's/ /\n/g' | \
sort | uniq
bison
bzip2
emacs
etags
flex
g++
gcc
gcj
gettext
GNUmake
gzip
icc
libtool
libtoolize
makedepend
makeinfo
makeinfo-html
python
ro-dir
runtest
tex
texi2dvi-o
What do you guys think about this nonsense? I think the only hard
dependencies of automake (for building and running) are listed in the
current in the current book. Chris probably knows best, though.

I think deps. that are needed for testsuites could be labeled as being
"optional" (notice I already started doing that for a few packages) but
you could do the same with several others. For example...
DejaGNU is used by GCC, Binutils, and Findutils testsuites
Perl is needed by Make and Udev testsuite
[ridiculously long list of packages] used by Automake testsuite
