Problem is that we don't have conditional prerequisites of the "install

There's the possibility to uses git submodules ... guile, ghostscript and extractpdfmark are primary candidates.

Git Submodules... this?

I'm not seeing anything there about build processes.

And if I understand the "conditional prerequisite" idea, it means that someone could have a system without software for doc builds such as extractpdfmark, and still run "make" with no issues about that. But if they did "make doc" it would respond with some form of "Need some more dependencies first."

What would Git Submodules offer for that?
