That would mean more work for everyone and consequently less adoption. 
Seriously, I think it's the best approach possible and really couldn't 
imagine using a more manual system to the extend that I do now. But more 
importantly, it would mean that we have a problem with cross-platform 
packages. You can't expect everyone to be able to build for all 
platforms. But if they don't, you can't know the dependencies or 
whatever else for those other platforms, even if the code would in 
theory compile fine.
