Comment (by rhaas):

 #2059 more or less does this. On "common OS" most things do work (as long
 as pkg-config is present) and Steve has a python script to detect what
 needs to be installed.

 This naturally is a chicken-and-egg problem since one of the things
 required to be installed is python2.
