I don't think that anybody has missed the point. For example, the
suggestion to grey out the glossary entry if the package is not
available makes sense. I don't remember anybody writing that it is
not needed, and hopefully somebody (Abdel?) will implement that.

Disabling the menu option when the package is not there is trivial,
I'll have a look at it. What I do not know is what we should do when
the glossary is already there in the document but not usable on the
user's machine.
Damn you're right! It would be stupid to disable glossary support in
this case. Think more about it, I guess we should not disabled items
based on package availability... Because LateX is not needed if you only
want to type in LyX. This might be power use but I think we should keep
it that way or at least keep it optionally that way.
What we definitely need is to check the availability on LateX
compilation. In this case the LyX shall not even try to compile the
document and ask the user to update his LateX installation.
