Too hard I think. The dependencies are not the same on every (version
of every) distribution, and if they match, their names might be
different. It would be a hell to maintain that list.

So, to track the *runtime* dependencies for my current claws-mail on
OpenSUSE 12.3, the list looks like this:

It is a recursive list of what packages are required by the executable
started, but still does not include what -devel packages it needed to
compile in the first place. I agree it would be lovely to see what
dependencies are missing to compile a certain feature, but I would NOT
request that from the maintainers, as that is work that should be done
by the packagers of the distributions.

If you build from source, I'm sure you are able to find out yourself.

100% agree
