I like this approach. :-)

One thing which bothers me is the different names of packages on
different distributions. eg., Fedora uses the -devel suffix while
Debian has -dev. I guess, one way out would be to use
InstallProvideFile to look for the packages providing the libraries
and headers. Is there any other way to do it?

Happy hacking,
